One company for all business

Can we register one pvt ltd or llp for all types of business? Like manufacturing of garments, machine, hardware, software, food, education, services etc.

Can we apply for all types of businesses and services ( more than 20) at the time of registration and do business of only one? Rest of them may be started in future?

Thanks

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a single private limited company or LLP can be registered to cover a wide range of business activities, from manufacturing to services. While a company's members can generally pursue collective interests, registering for numerous, disparate business types at inception is problematic. The Registrar of Companies (RoC) typically requires a company's name and activities to align with its primary business, and unrelated ventures under one entity are generally not permitted. Ancillary activities supporting the main objective are allowed, but distinct industry operations under a single registration are usually not feasible due to differing legal and compliance requirements.

Members of the company can do anything benefiting their collective interests with their consensus but their act should not go beyond company jurisprudence for ex:- there is law that name of the company should match their main business

all the business that you have mentioned are an industry altogether different from each other and attracts different laws and compliance. Complying with all those industry specific laws are pretty hectic and excruciating so there is no point.

Thus a company shall have a main business and other ancillary business which is required to attain its main objective but doing business in different industry is not permitted under one name

For example, let’s discuss a software development company, the main activity of the company is to develop software for clients and deploy them in the market. This company can hire new employees and to make them used to with the process and services of the company they will have to give them proper training. Imparting training for the benefit of the company or to achieve the business goal is permitted but doing it as a lead service is not allowed. Also, a digital market can also be included as it relates to same field or industry.

Here, if the company starts to impart training to students as a service and with no relation to the actual production of the company it will be unrelated to the main objective. Training falls under the education field whereas software development falls under a different category and performing both under one roof is not permitted by RoC

Thanks a lot for help.

Can we name  company "xyz industry or xyz enterprises or xyz group" and start manufacturing garments and hardware?
