We are setting up a new line of business. I currently have a private limited company for an ecommerce platform. The new business is in food & beverages industry with different set of partners me being common in both these ventures. Pls let me know whether it is advisable to form a separate entity for the new line of business or it can be set up under existing private ltd company entity & what are the pros & cons.
regards,
Benefits of having single company:
