What is a Public Limited Company (PLC)?
A Public Limited Company (PLC) is a type of company that allows shares to be publicly traded on stock exchanges, providing an opportunity for the company to raise capital from the public. Unlike private limited companies, PLCs can have an unlimited number of shareholders, which makes them ideal for large businesses looking to expand and attract investment. This structure is governed by strict regulations to ensure transparency and protect shareholders.

Key Features of an Public Limited Company
PLCs can have an unlimited number of shareholders, making it easier to raise capital through public offerings.
Shares can be listed and traded on stock exchanges, offering liquidity to investors and enabling the company to access a wide pool of investors.
The liability of shareholders is limited to the value of their shares, protecting personal assets from business risks.
A PLC has its own legal identity, allowing it to own property, enter contracts, and sue or be sued in its name.
PLCs are required to adhere to strict disclosure and reporting standards to maintain transparency and investor trust.
