How to Choose the Right Structure
- Number and type of owners or members
- Need for limited liability
- Fundraising or investor plans
- Expected scale and governance needs
- Tax and profit-distribution considerations
- Annual filing and audit/compliance burden
- Nature and objects of the proposed activity
Eligibility & Preliminary Checks
Eligibility depends on the chosen entity. Before filing, the proposed ownership, directors/designated partners, objects, capital structure, registered office and name availability should be reviewed against the applicable legal requirements.
Common Documents
- Identity and address proof of proposed promoters/directors/partners
- Photographs and contact details where required
- Registered office proof and occupancy/owner documentation
- Proposed business objects and activity details
- Capital/contribution and ownership details
- Entity-specific declarations, consents and supporting documents
- Foreign shareholder documents and legalisation/apostille where applicable
Registration Process
For companies, incorporation is generally undertaken through the MCA incorporation framework, including SPICe+ and linked forms as applicable. LLP incorporation follows the MCA LLP incorporation process. Partnership and proprietorship setups depend on the registrations relevant to the constitution and activity.
- Structure and eligibility review
- Name and object review where applicable
- Document preparation
- Electronic filing with the relevant authority
- Responding to resubmission/clarification, if raised
- Receipt of incorporation/registration documents
- Post-registration action plan
Fees & Professional Charges
Government filing fees, stamp duty and third-party charges vary according to entity type, authorised capital, state, number of applicants and the specific filing. A service-specific quotation should therefore be issued after reviewing the proposed structure.
Expected Timeline
Timelines vary by entity, document readiness, authority processing, name availability and whether any resubmission or clarification is raised. We avoid promising a fixed approval date where the final processing is controlled by a statutory authority.
Post-Incorporation Compliance
- Opening and operationalising the business bank account
- Initial board/partner documentation where applicable
- Share/subscription and statutory-record requirements
- GST and other business registrations where applicable
- Accounting and bookkeeping setup
- ROC/LLP event-based and annual compliance calendar
- Tax, TDS, payroll and other recurring compliances based on activity
Frequently Asked Questions
Which entity is best for a new business?
There is no single structure suitable for every business. Ownership, liability, fundraising plans, tax position and compliance capacity should be reviewed before choosing.
Can incorporation be completed online?
Most company and LLP incorporation filings are electronic, but supporting documents and statutory approvals still depend on the facts of the application.
Are government fees fixed?
No. Filing fees, stamp duty and related charges can vary by entity, capital, state and filing type.
Do you assist after incorporation?
Yes. Post-incorporation registrations, accounting and recurring compliance can be handled separately according to the entity and activity.
