Understanding the Role of Directors in a Private Limited Company
Directors play a pivotal role in the seamless operation and strategic direction of a Private Limited Company. They manage daily activities, make crucial decisions affecting the company’s future, and oversee shareholder investments. As key figures appointed by shareholders, directors are responsible for the overall management of the company in alignment with the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA).
Types of Directors in a Company
Directors within a company can be classified into several categories based on their functions and duties:
- Executive Directors: Engaged in day-to-day operations and management, holding specific executive positions like CEO, CFO, or COO.
- Non-Executive Directors: Provide objective oversight, contribute to decision-making processes, and bring external perspectives and expertise.
- Independent Directors: Distinguished by their lack of material relationships with the company, ensuring unbiased judgments and protection of shareholder interests.
Appointing Directors in a Private Limited Company
The Companies Act of 2013 mandates a minimum of two directors in a Private Limited Company, with a maximum of fifteen. Additional directors can be appointed by passing a special resolution, requiring approval from over 75% of voting shareholders. Director appointments must adhere strictly to the regulations outlined in the Companies Act 2013 to maintain legal compliance.
