Advantages of Private Limited Company

Distinct Legal Entity:

The Private Limited Company has a distinct existence. It is not a natural person or human being as we are. Private Limited Company is permitted to own property along with incurring debts. Members and Promoters are separate from the company. Who are not bound by any act of the company. Hence the distinct legal entity that benefits the members.
