general public shareholders via the free trade of shares of stock on exchanges or over-the-counter
markets. NHS is a public company and it has distributed its ownership among the public and
their shareholders. The shares of the company are traded within an open market with many
people ready to invest in their shares. (Dey, 2019)To establish it minimum of 7 no. of people is
required and there is no limit for maximum and requires a paid up capital of 5 lacs and the

Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association and to invite and accept the funds from
public they have made their prospectus.

limit up to 200 members. Minimum amount for paid up capital required to start a private
company is 1 lacs and can go up to the suitability of the business. AS a private company KFC

name in the market. With this the issue of selling shares and raising money from the market is
totally gone. Their are only 2 directors in the company and no one is independent.

joined hands with 19 other organizations which serves in charity and focuses on removing the
issues of poverty faced by people globally. These type of companies serves as a non profit
