07 September 2022 Your private limited company will have to be converted to a public limited company when there are more than 50 shareholders. Converting to a public limited company and getting listed comes with the following advantages:

Unlock and maximise long-term shareholder value

The conversion of private limited company to public company best demonstrates the brand's real value in the market and offers the original shareholders a significant Return on Investment (ROI).

Liquidity

Stockholders of a registered private limited company's stock have to look for investors who are willing to buy its shares. On the other hand, stockholders of a public limited company will have an open niche market in which sellers and buyers can interact and do business.

Compensation

Companies that are publicly listed can give securities to their directors, officers and employees as a form of compensation. The market value of the securities is determined by its stock exchange selling price.

Disadvantages

While converting a private limited company to a public listed company comes with advantages, there are also some disadvantages, including:

It is not cheap to set up
There are more stringent accounting and reporting requirements
There is a higher possibility of a hostile takeover by a competitor, since the company is unable to control the
buyers of its shares
Shareholders will expect a percentage of the profits as their dividends
Shareholders may have differing opinions when it comes to decision making for the business
