We help you choose the right vehicle for your business — considering liability, taxation, funding plans and compliance cost — and then set it up properly.
The default choice for scalable businesses and start-ups: limited liability, easy to bring in investors and ESOPs, taxed at 25.17% under section 200 (115BAA of the 1961 Act). Incorporation through SPICe+ with PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC and bank account in one process.
Limited liability with partnership-style flexibility and lighter compliance, suited to professional services firms, family businesses and joint ventures where equity funding is not planned.
A private limited company with a single member — for solo founders who want a corporate structure and limited liability without a co-founder.
Registration under the Indian Partnership Act with a drafted partnership deed, PAN and bank account — simple and cost-effective for small trading and service businesses.
Fastest route for very small businesses: GST or Shop & Establishment registration, Udyam certificate and a current account under the trade name.

Documents typically required
Choose a private limited company if you plan to raise equity funding, offer ESOPs or eventually sell the business; investors almost always require it. An LLP suits owner-managed professional and service businesses that value lower compliance cost and want profits taxed once at the entity level (30%) with tax-free distribution to partners. We will walk you through both with your numbers.
Every Indian company must have at least one director who has stayed in India for at least 182 days in the previous calendar year. Foreign nationals can be directors and shareholders, but a resident director is required. We can advise on compliant arrangements.
There is no minimum paid-up capital requirement for a private limited company or LLP. Capital should be set according to business needs; foreign investment must comply with pricing guidelines and be reported to the RBI within 30 days of allotment.
For a private limited company: annual accounts and audit, ROC filings (AOC-4, MGT-7/7A), board meetings and minutes, DIR-3 KYC, income tax return, TDS returns, GST returns if registered, and FEMA annual return (FLA) if there is foreign investment. We offer a fixed-fee annual compliance package covering all of these.
Tell us what you plan to do and where your investors are based; we will recommend the right structure within one working day.
