Both private and public companies have limited liabilities- so it is not useful to state that as a difference. The difference between a PRIVATE company (Pty Ltd) and a public company (ltd) is that in a private company- the maximum number of people that can have shares in the company is 100 in which they have to be invited by the company. With PUBLIC companies, they are on the stock exchange market (In Australia the ASX) in which they have an unlimited number of shareholders and shares are issued via prospectus etc.

In a Public Limited Company (PLC), profits are distributed primarily to shareholders in the form of dividends, which are payments made based on the number of shares they hold. The board of directors decides the amount and timing of these dividends. Additionally, retained earnings may be reinvested into the company for growth or operational needs, benefiting shareholders indirectly by potentially increasing the company’s value. Ultimately, shareholders, as the owners of the company, are the primary beneficiaries of its profits.
