CONVERSION OF A PARTNERSHIP FIRM INTO A LIMITED COMPANY

    The company may acquire the assets and liabilities of any running business,

which may belong to an individual, or to a sole proprietary concern, or to a

partnership firm, or for that matter, to a limited company, in accordance with the

terms and conditions of an agreement that may be entered into by and between the

company and the seller(s) of the existing business.

    Such an agreement may be made, before the incorporation of the company, by

the promoters of the company with the seller of the business, which, on

incorporation, may be ratified by the company through its authorised agent or

representative. However, the promoters are duty bound to ensure that such pre-

incorporation agreements are fair and in the interest of the company, and if the

promoters make any profit or take any undue advantage from such agreements, they are liable to compensate the company to the extent the company suffers any loss.

    If a particular partnership firm has the required number of persons, who may

form a limited company as per the requirements of the Companies Act, they may

become subscribers to the memorandum and also the promoters of the company.

The assets and liabilities of the firm can be taken over by the company on

incorporation on the basis of their valuation done by experts and the promoters or the

erstwhile partners of the firm are allotted shares in the company according to the

value of their shares in the firm.

   On incorporation of the company, the assets and liabilities of the partnership firm

may be taken over by the company, as per terms and conditions of the agreement

executed by and between the promoters of the company, which is ratified by the

company on its incorporation or by and between the company after its incorporation

and the partners of the firm, in their capacity as partners of the firm and not in their

capacity as subscribers to the memorandum of association of the company or as

members of the company.

    After all the assets and liabilities of the partnership firm have been taken over by

the company and the partners have been paid by the company either in cash or in

the form of shares in the company, the existence of the firm comes to an end.

     The company is a separate legal entity, which is quite distinct and independent of

its members. Members of a company may come and go but the company continues

to exist till it is wound up or is declared defunct by the Registrar of Companies,

according to due process of law. The mere fact that the assets and liabilities of a

partnership firm have been taken over by a company and its partners have either

been paid in cash or have been allotted shares in the company does not by itself

mean that the company retains its character of partnership. [Official Liquidator v.

Ram Swarup (1997) 26CLA 90 (All)].

     If and when the partners of a partnership firm propose to form a private limited

company or a public limited company, they have to ensure that their number is

sufficient to form such a company as per provisions of Section 12 of the Companies

Act, 1956. After having mustered the required number, they may proceed to form a

limited company as per procedure laid down in Section 12 of the Companies Act, 1956.

    The persons, who take steps for the formation of a company, are known as

promoters of the company. They subscribe to the memorandum of association of the

company and on incorporation, their names are entered in the register of members of

the company as they shall be deemed to have agreed to become members of the

company as per provisions of Section 41(1) of the Companies Act, 1956.

    After having decided to form a company to take over the business of their

partnership firm, the partners should take the following procedural steps for the

formation and registration of the company:

PROCEDURE FOR CONVERSION OF A SOLE PROPRIETOR CONCERN OR     PARTNERSHIP FIRM INTO A LIMITED COMPANY

(A) An existing business (that is sole proprietorship or partnership) can be

    converted into a company in any of the following ways:

(a) by outright sale;

(b) by making partners of the firm the only shareholders of the newly

    incorporated company;

(c) a company becoming a partner of the firm which will be dissolved thereafter;


(d) by amalgamation under Sections 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956;

(e) by registration of existing joint stock companies under the Companies Act

    (Section 567).

(B) In cases of items (a), (b) and (c), following procedure should be followed:

(1) The existing business should be converted into a partnership firm and the

    newly incorporated company be admitted as its partner.

(2) At the time of forming the new company, it should be ensured that the

    proprietor of the existing business and any other individual are the

    subscribers to that company’s memorandum of association, thereupon that

    other individual must also be admitted as a partner of the converted firm.

(3) Distribution of all assets and liabilities of the firm to one of the partners who

    will pay the difference to other partners must be provided in the partnership

    deed.

(4) It must be ensured that the memorandum of association of the newly formed

    company includes a clause permitting the company to acquire the

    undertakings of an existing business.

(5) It must also be ensured that the articles of association of the newly formed

    company gives power to its directors to enter into agreement facilitating the

    acquisition of business.

(6) An agreement with the directors of the newly formed company for facilitating

    the acquisition of the partnership firm must be entered into.

(7) A copy of the agreement must be filed with the Registrar within 30 days of

    entering into the agreement (Section 192), after paying the requisite fee as

    prescribed under Schedule X to the Companies Act, 1956.

(8) Thereupon a Board resolution for allotment of shares to the other partners

    of the firm as consideration of such acquisition should be passed.

(9) A return of allotment in e-form 2 along with the attachments (see

    Part B of this Study) should be filed with the Registrar within 30 days of

    making the allotment (Section 75).

(10) If the partnership firm being a joint stock company within the meaning of

      Section 566 wants to be registered as a company, then all the following

      documents should be delivered to the Registrar of Companies:

       (i) an application in electronic form No. 37 (See Part B of this Study) of the

           Companies (Central Government’s) General Rules and Forms, 1956;

      (ii) a list showing the names, addresses and occupations of all persons

           who on a day not more than 6 clear days before the day of registration

           were members of the company and the shares or stock held by each

           one of them respectively, distinguishing each share by its number in

           case the shares are numbered;

     (iii) a copy of the partnership deed;

     (iv) a statement containing the following particulars:

          (a) the nominal share capital of the company and the number of shares into which it is divided or the amount of stock of which it consists;


  (b) the number of shares taken and the amount paid on each share;

(c) the name of the company and the addition of the word ‘Limited’ or

    ‘Private Limited’ as its last words;

(d) a copy of the resolution declaring the amount of guarantee if you

    want to register it as a guarantee company (Section 567).

Dear Member

Is the proprietary firm convert in to Pvt. Ltd. Company?

After incorporating a company, takeover the sole proprietary concern.

If a proprietor wants to Incorporate a Company,

Can a main object of the company consist a takeover a business of proprietary firm?

Not required. But thereshould be an empowering clause in incidental object to take over the sole proprietary concern.

What is the Shareholding Pattern?

It is left to the promoters. Atleast Rs.1 Lakh should be the paid up capital. So divided this among the promoters as per their choice.

Is any Agreement in writing for the same?

Not required.

Any other Compliance under Company Law and any other Law?

AFter take over , file F.no.2 with the agreement if executed. If no agreement is there, file f.no.3.

Which documents should be required to attach with Form 1A?

Or first he Incorporate a company and after that take over a business of the proprietary firm?

Please guide me.

Thanking you
