Basic Understanding on Types of Companies in India

Indian company law classifies companies but as laypersons, many of us are not aware of this. Typically, a company is a group of individuals who come together for a common purpose, mainly profit making and revenue sharing. The working of a business entity in India is governed by the Companies Act, 1956. There are various types of business entities defined by the Indian legal system, such as corporations, sole traders, cooperatives and partnerships.
