About Sole Proprietorship to Private Limited

Initially, when a business is established, the most preferred choice is a sole proprietorship structure because of its low compliance requirements. Once the business grows, it is essential to take steps to limit the liabilities and reduce the burden of compliance on a single person. The best way out over here is to convert proprietorship to private limited company. For the purpose of conversion of sole proprietor to a private limited company, it is necessary by the promoters of the company to indulge into an agreement which is to be made for selling the business. Further, such conversion from sole proprietorship to Private Limited Company must have clearly mentioned about “the takeover of a Sole Proprietorship Concern” as one of the objectives in its Memorandum of Association.

Benefits

Separate Legal Existence

The private limited company is a separate legal entity, and its existence is separate from its members This makes the business possible to own assets and enter into contracts in the name of the private limited company or sue a third party in case of a dispute. The members (Shareholders/Directors) of a company have no personal liability to the creditors of a company for the company’s debts beyond their holding in the company.

Limited Liability of Directors

In a private limited company, the personal assets of the director’s remain untouched if there are any outstanding debts on the company. Only the money invested for incorporation or the assets of the company are to be sold off for paying off the dues

Easy Transferability

The ownership of the business can be transferred to an individual or to a company by transferring the shares with the consent of shareholders. This transfer is much easier whereas in proprietorship such transfer is not allowed.

Uninterrupted existence

A private limited company is a separate legal entity and hence it has a perpetual succession. Unlike a sole proprietorship, it is unaffected by the death or other departure of any member. It continues to be in existence irrespective of the changes in membership.
