• Shareholders: Ownership is divided into shares, which are held by multiple shareholders who can trade them on a public stock exchange.

• Transferability of Shares: Shares of a public limited company can be freely transferred or sold on the open market.

• Corporate Governance: A PLC must follow strict corporate governance rules, promoting ethical practices and accountability.

• Dividends: Profits are distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends, typically based on the company's profitability.

Why choose Public Limited Company.

Advantages

Disadvantages

particularly in raising capital and expanding its market presence. By selling shares on the public stock exchange, a PLC can access large amounts of funding, which aids in growth, innovation, and stability. Limited liability protects shareholders, limiting their responsibility to the value of their shares, and the transferability of shares provides liquidity for investors. The company’s reputation is often enhanced by its public listing, increasing credibility with customers, banks, and suppliers. Additionally, a PLC’s perpetual succession allows it to continue operating even as ownership changes, enabling long-term planning and making it easier to attract skilled employees by offering stock-based incentives.

a PLC faces several challenges. Maintaining regulatory compliance and transparency requires significant resources, increasing operational costs and often requiring dedicated teams for financial reporting. This transparency also exposes sensitive information to competitors and subjects the company to public scrutiny. PLCs are susceptible to hostile takeovers, as anyone can buy a large portion of shares, potentially leading to a loss of control for original owners. Additionally, the need to satisfy shareholder expectations for short-term returns can limit the company’s focus on long-term goals. Decision-making in a PLC can also be slower and more complex due to the involvement of multiple stakeholders and adherence to corporate governance standards.
