Company registration and business licensing

What We Register

From your first entity to the licenses your business needs to legally operate, we cover the full range of registrations Indian founders and business owners typically need.

Private Limited Company

The most common structure for startups planning to raise funding or scale with limited liability protection.

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

A flexible structure suited to services businesses and partnerships wanting liability protection without corporate formality.

One Person Company (OPC)

For solo founders who want a corporate structure and limited liability without bringing in a co-founder.

Partnership Firm & Sole Proprietorship

Simple, low-cost structures for small and traditional businesses that do not need a corporate entity yet.

Section 8 Company (Non-Profit)

For founders setting up a non-profit or social-impact organisation with proper legal structure.

Startup India Recognition (DPIIT)

GST Registration

Mandatory for most businesses crossing the turnover threshold or selling across state lines. We handle filing and follow-up with the department.

MSME / Udyam Registration

Unlocks access to government schemes, collateral-free loans, and payment protection under the MSME Act.

Required for any business that wants to import or export goods and services from India.

Our Approach

1

Understand your business

We start with a quick conversation about your business type, plans, and timeline, so we recommend the right entity and registrations, not just the most common one.

2

Document checklist, made simple

We give you a clear, minimal list of exactly what's needed, so there's no back-and-forth guessing what a government form actually wants from you.

3

We file and follow up

We prepare and submit your filings, and, critically, we chase the department on your behalf when responses are slow, so you're not stuck refreshing a portal.

4

Certificates, handed over clearly

Once approved, we hand over every certificate and document in an organised set, with a plain-English note on what each one means and where you'll need it next.

5

A natural next step, if you want it

Once you're registered, ongoing compliance (tax filings, ROC deadlines, renewals) becomes the next thing on your plate. If you'd rather not track that yourself, this is where our Compliance, Tax & Governance service picks up.

What You Get

Guidance on which entity actually fits your business, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
End-to-end filing and submission, handled by us, not a checklist dumped back on you.
Realistic timelines upfront, and proactive updates instead of you having to chase us for status.
All certificates and documents organised and handed over clearly, ready for banking, funding, or bidding needs.
Straightforward, upfront pricing per registration, no surprise add-on fees mid-process.
A natural path into ongoing compliance support afterward, if and when you want it, no pressure either way.

Ideal For

First-time founders who want to incorporate correctly the first time, instead of fixing structural mistakes later.

Sole proprietors and freelancers formalising their business to work with larger clients, banks, or platforms.

Existing businesses expanding into new states, product lines, or import/export activity that need additional licenses.

Traditional and family-run businesses formalising for the first time to access loans, tenders, or MSME benefits.

Anyone who has tried a generic registration portal or freelancer and wants a team that will actually pick up the phone.
