What is Proprietorship to Private Limited Company Conversion?

Proprietorship to Private Limited Company conversion refers to the process of transferring the business operations, assets, and liabilities of an existing sole proprietorship business into a newly incorporated Private Limited Company.

After conversion, the business is operated through a corporate structure, and the company becomes a separate legal entity distinct from its shareholders and directors.

The proprietor typically becomes a director and shareholder of the newly incorporated company, along with at least one additional shareholder as required under company law.
