Difference Between Listed and Unlisted Company

We all are familiar with the term: stock exchange and how a company receives investments from everyone to rise in the stock market. But only companies that fulfill the SEBI criteria can be registered as listed companies to be part of the global trading market.

A company that does not meet the SEBI criteria or opts to be unlisted is called an unlisted company or organization.

Differentiating a listed and unlisted company is primarily based on stock exchange registration. However, there are other factors too, which help in categorizing a company as listed or unlisted.

listed and unlisted company

Difference between Listed and Unlisted Companies:

1. Regulation The listed companies in India- are regulated by the Security and Exchange Board of India(SEBI). These companies need to follow strict laws & regulations. Unlisted companies are not controlled by any governing body and follow less stringent laws than listed companies.
2. Investment Advantage Due to the regulation and monitoring from a governing body, there is less risk when it comes to Listed companies. Unlisted companies- are not impacted by market sentiments and are thus less volatile than listed companies.
3. Liquidity Listed companies- are easily liquified due to the facile availability of stocks. Unlisted companies have less liquidy because of the unavailability of the respective market.

What is a Listed and Unlisted company? How do they differ?

 A company is categorized as listed when its securities- are registered on a recognized stock exchange. Anyone can invest in these companies and trade the shares freely.

Usually, listed companies are owned by numerous shareholders. Some of the listed companies in India are- Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, Nestle, etc. The listed companies in India are categorized- into private limited and public limited companies based on the Companies act of 2013.

 

What is an Unlisted company?

Unlisted companies are the exact opposite. They are not listed on the stock exchange and can only raise equity through private investments. The trade between the buyer and seller takes place on the over-the-counter market. 

In comparison, unlisted companies have more risk factors but also have the benefit of not having an external regulating body which might lead to stagnancy in particular cases.
