Startup Registration — The Right Structure, From Day One.

Before Startup India recognition, MSME status, or funding — a startup needs the right legal structure. We advise on entity choice and handle the incorporation itself.

Contact Us

Choosing the right legal structure at incorporation shapes everything that follows — how easily the startup can raise funding, how liability is limited, what compliance burden it carries, and how straightforwardly it can later apply for DPIIT recognition or MSME status. A private limited company is the most common choice for startups intending to raise external funding, since it allows equity issuance to investors. An LLP suits founders who want limited liability with lower compliance overhead and don't plan to raise VC funding in the near term. A One Person Company suits a solo founder wanting a corporate structure without a co-founder.

We advise on entity choice based on the founder's funding plans, number of founders, and compliance appetite, then handle the incorporation itself — name approval, drafting of the MOA/AOA or LLP agreement, DIN/DPIN for directors or partners, and filing with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

Incorporation is only the first step; PAN, TAN, a current account, and — depending on turnover — GST registration follow immediately after. We sequence these so the entity can start operating and invoicing without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you plan to raise equity funding from investors, a private limited company is generally necessary since LLPs cannot easily issue equity shares. If you don't plan to raise VC funding soon and want lower compliance overhead, an LLP is often more practical. We assess this against your specific funding roadmap.
Yes, through a One Person Company (OPC), which requires only one director/shareholder plus a nominee. Alternatively, a solo founder can incorporate a private limited company with a second nominal shareholder, which is more common if funding is planned since OPCs have conversion restrictions.
With documents ready, SPICe+ incorporation for a private limited company or FiLLiP for an LLP is typically completed within 1-2 weeks, subject to MCA processing times and the number of clarification queries raised on the name or documents.
Yes, every company or LLP needs a registered office address in India at the time of incorporation, supported by a utility bill and either ownership proof or an NOC from the property owner. A residential address can be used as the registered office.
No. GST registration is separate and only mandatory once turnover crosses the prescribed threshold (or immediately if the business makes inter-state supplies or sells via e-commerce). PAN and TAN are issued alongside incorporation, but GST is a distinct filing.
Yes, LLPs can be converted to private limited companies under the Companies Act, though the process involves fresh incorporation-style filings and asset transfer. It's generally simpler to choose the right structure at the outset if funding is a near-term plan.
