    Sure, here's the comparison without numbering: Public companies require at least 7 members, while private companies need 2-200 members. Public company shares can be freely transferred and offered to the public, but private company shares cannot. Public companies' names end with "Limited," whereas private companies end with "Private Limited." Public companies must have at least 3 directors; private companies need at least 2. Public companies must hold statutory meetings and issue a prospectus, while private companies do not. Public companies need a certificate to commence business, but private companies can start upon incorporation. Public companies must publicly disclose financials, facing more regulations; private companies have limited disclosure and fewer regulations.
