While registration is a fundamental step for legal recognition, incorporation involves additional advantages and creates a more advanced legal entity.

6. What's the Role of a Director in a Private Limited Company?

Directors in a Private Limited Company are pivotal in steering the company’s course by engaging in strategic decision-making, upholding corporate governance, and ensuring legal compliance.
