Introduction:

The Companies Act of 2013 defined a new concept of "small company." It is simply a Private Company with less capital and a smaller turnover size.

  • Paid-up share capital not more than 4 Crore.

  • Annual Turnover not more than 40 Crore.

Exceptions to Small Business:

  • Company registers under section 8

  • Public Company

  • Holding & Subsidiary Company

  • Companies governed by Special Acts

  • There is no requirement to include a cash flow statement in a financial statement.
