Describe in detail the stages involved in the formation of a public company.
The formation of a public company is a complex process that occurs in three major stages. The first stage, promotion, involves generating the business idea and conducting feasibility studies to assess its potential. Promoters undertake crucial tasks such as gathering resources, preparing documents like the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and ensuring legal compliance to initiate the company’s establishment. The second stage is incorporation, which involves registering the company with the Registrar of Companies. Promoters submit necessary documents and pay prescribed fees. After thorough examination, the Registrar issues the Certificate of Incorporation, granting the company legal status. The third and final stage is capital subscription, which is unique to public companies. It involves issuing a prospectus to invite the public to subscribe to shares. Once the minimum subscription is achieved and shares are allotted, the company receives the Certificate of Commencement of Business. These stages are critical for ensuring the lawful and systematic establishment of the company.
