The name is reserved and the objects are drafted around permitted producer activities such as procurement, processing, grading and marketing.
SPICe+ is filed with member and director details, MOA and AOA.
Board structure, member registers and the patronage based distribution framework are put in place.
A Producer Company can only have primary producers as members, meaning people engaged in production of primary produce. Applications are routinely queried where member documentation does not establish that clearly.

Only primary producers, either as individuals or as producer institutions. Non producers cannot hold membership, which is the defining restriction of the structure.
A Producer Company is registered under company law with corporate governance and nationwide operation, while a cooperative society is registered under state law with heavier state control.
Distribution is linked to patronage, meaning the business each member does with the company, rather than purely to shareholding.
