Registrations are the paperwork that turns an idea into an entity the law, banks and investors recognise: incorporation, then the tax and sector registrations that follow it, then the recognitions that unlock benefits. The order matters — several of them depend on the ones before.
The common failure is not a rejected form, it is picking the wrong structure and discovering the cost eighteen months later at a funding round. We start with the structure question and the sequence, then file. Recognition work runs through to what it actually unlocks — DPIIT recognition and the tax exemption it gates.

What you get
Competitors describe this work in adjectives. Here are the contents.
| What you get | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Entity incorporation | Private limited, LLP or OPC — name reservation, DSC and DIN, MoA/AoA or LLP agreement, certificate of incorporation, PAN and TAN. |
| Structure advice before you file | Which entity fits your funding plans, ownership and compliance appetite — the decision that is expensive to reverse later. |
| Post-incorporation essentials | Bank account documentation, commencement-of-business declaration, first auditor appointment, the filings due in the first 180 days. |
| Tax registrations | GST registration and, where relevant, professional tax and other state registrations. |
| MSME / Udyam | Udyam registration and the benefits it carries for tenders, delayed-payment protection and scheme eligibility. |
| Import–export code | IEC issuance for businesses trading across borders. |
| Startup India / DPIIT recognition | Eligibility assessment, the innovation write-up that carries the application, filing and follow-through to the benefits it gates. |
| Sector licences and certifications | The approvals specific to your line of business, identified during scoping rather than discovered afterwards. |
Who this is for
- First-time founders deciding between a private limited company, an LLP and an OPC
- Teams that need to be incorporated before a term sheet, a bank account or a client contract can proceed
- Businesses crossing a threshold that triggers GST or a sector licence
- Startups seeking DPIIT recognition to reach tax exemption, grants and scheme eligibility
- Founders who incorporated elsewhere and have discovered post-incorporation filings were never done
How we work
- Structure first: what you are building, who will own it, whether you intend to raise — then the entity recommendation, with the trade-offs stated.
- A document list scoped to your specific case, not a generic checklist.
- Name reservation and incorporation filed, with the certificate, PAN and TAN issued.
- The post-incorporation set nobody warns you about — commencement declaration, first auditor, opening compliance — handled in sequence.
- Registrations that follow: GST, Udyam, IEC and any sector licence, in dependency order.
- Recognition work where you qualify, taken through to the benefit rather than stopping at the certificate.

Structuring & Conversions
Converting an LLP into a Private Limited Company
A profitable digital marketing LLP in Pune had outgrown its structure. Enterprise clients increasingly required a company counterparty, the partners wanted to introduce an ESOP pool to retain senior talent, and an early-stage investor had signalled interest — none of which the LLP form could easily accommodate. The partners needed to convert to a Private Limited Company without disturbing live client contracts or existing tax positions.
Structuring & Conversions
Converting a Proprietorship into a Private Limited Company
A logistics business had grown rapidly from a sole proprietorship into a regional enterprise with multiple warehouses and institutional clients. The owner began facing challenges in obtaining larger contracts, attracting investors, and limiting personal liability under the existing business structure.
Structuring & Conversions
Setting Up an International Holding Company
A deep-tech hardware startup in Bengaluru was raising from overseas investors who wanted to invest into a holding company in a neutral jurisdiction rather than directly into the Indian entity. The founders needed a compliant cross-border structure that respected FEMA, protected their IP, and did not jeopardise India-based R&D incentives.
Frequently asked
Registrations, answered plainly.
A private limited company if you intend to raise external equity — investors expect shares, a cap table and a board. An LLP is lighter to run and cheaper to comply with, but it cannot issue equity to investors, so converting later becomes the cost.
It depends on name approval and Registrar processing, both of which vary. A complete, consistent application moves considerably faster than one that draws a resubmission, which is why we front-load the document check.
At minimum: a commencement-of-business declaration within 180 days, first auditor appointment within 30 days, and GST if you cross the threshold or supply interstate. Udyam, IEC and sector licences depend on what you do.
No — recognition is optional and comes after incorporation. It matters because it gates the 80-IAC tax exemption, angel-tax relief, several grants and government tender benefits.
Yes, as a One Person Company, or as a private limited company with a second shareholder. An OPC has lighter compliance but restrictions that matter if you plan to raise, so the choice deserves a conversation first.
Penalties accrue and, for the commencement declaration, the Registrar can strike the company off. It is fixable — we assess what is outstanding, file it, and put you on a tracked calendar.
