Business Registrations — Done Right, Start to Finish.

From Startup India recognition to MSME, import-export and digital signature registrations — we handle the paperwork, portals, and follow-ups so your business is compliant from day one.

Contact Us

Every business in India touches at least one government registration before it can trade, invoice, hire, or import freely — and most touch several. Startup India recognition unlocks tax and funding benefits; MSME/Udyam registration unlocks credit and tender access; an Import Export Code is mandatory for any cross-border trade; a Digital Signature Certificate is required to file almost anything online. Handled separately, these registrations are a maze of portals, document formats, and follow-up queries.

We manage the full registration stack for founders and business owners — assessing which registrations actually apply to your business model, preparing the documentation in the format each portal expects, filing the applications, and tracking them through to certificate issuance. Where a registration has ongoing compliance attached (such as Udyam re-verification or LEI renewal), we flag the renewal cycle so nothing lapses silently.

This page is the index to our registration services — Startup India, Startup (entity) Registration, MSME Registration, Udyam Registration, ICEGATE Registration, Import Export Code, Legal Entity Identifier Code, LEI Registration Services, Shop Act Registration, and Digital Signature. Each has its own detailed page; we recommend starting with whichever registration is currently blocking your next business milestone.

Our Process

1

Registration Needs Assessment

We map your business activity — domestic trade, export, funding stage, headcount — against which registrations are mandatory versus beneficial.

2

Document Preparation

Each portal (DPIIT, Udyam, DGFT, ICEGATE, GLEIF, state labour department, CCA) has its own document format; we prepare filings to match.

3

Application Filing

Applications are filed on the relevant government portal under our tracked case management, with acknowledgment numbers logged.

4

Query Resolution

Where a portal raises a clarification or resubmission query, we respond within the stipulated window to avoid application lapse.

5

Certificate Delivery & Renewal Tracking

Once issued, certificates are shared with renewal/expiry dates logged so time-bound registrations like LEI don't lapse.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the business. A domestic private limited company typically needs incorporation, PAN/TAN, GST (if turnover crosses the threshold), and Shop Act registration. A business that imports or exports additionally needs an IEC and ICEGATE registration. Startups seeking tax benefits need DPIIT recognition. We assess this against your specific model rather than filing a standard bundle.
Udyam registration is not legally mandatory for most businesses, but it is a prerequisite for MSME benefits — priority-sector lending, delayed-payment protection under the MSMED Act, subsidy schemes, and government tender eligibility. We recommend it for almost every eligible small business given the benefit-to-effort ratio.
Yes, for regular customs clearance. The IEC (from DGFT) is the identity number required for any cross-border shipment; ICEGATE registration is what allows electronic filing of shipping bills and bills of entry with customs. Most importers/exporters need both.
Once the application is filed correctly with the required incorporation certificate, PAN, and business description, DPIIT recognition is typically granted within a few weeks, though timelines vary with query cycles. Eligibility is generally limited to entities incorporated within the last 10 years with turnover below the prescribed threshold.
Directors and designated partners filing MCA forms, authorised signatories filing GST and income tax returns, and any entity participating in government e-tenders need a Class 3 DSC. We arrange issuance through licensed certifying authorities.
Yes — the Shops and Establishments Act covers most commercial establishments, including offices, that employ staff, not just retail shops. Requirements and thresholds vary by state, which is why we check the specific state Act applicable to your registered address.
