About Public Limited Company Registration
A public limited company is a corporate structure with a broader membership framework than a private company. Incorporating a public company is not the same as obtaining permission for a public offer or a stock-exchange listing.

- Arrange at least seven subscribers and three directors, with the applicable resident-director requirement.
- Agree the objects, share capital, ownership and registered office.

What stays your responsibility once this is done.
