Home / Change in Business Structure / Private to Public Company Conversion
Last updated: 2 October 2026
Planning an IPO, wider investment or larger contracts may require a public company. Our team handles the members, directors, altered articles and filings — and sets up the extra compliance a public company carries.
A public company has more compliance — for example, rules on related-party transactions, managerial remuneration, and, above certain sizes, independent directors, audit committees and KMP.
Based on the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules made under it. Last updated: 27 September 2026.
