Frequently asked questions
Which structure is right for my startup?
For most VC-fundable startups, a Private Limited Company is standard. LLPs suit professional services with two or more partners. We recommend a structure only after understanding your funding plan, co-founders, and tax profile.
How long does incorporation take end-to-end?
Typically 15–25 working days from receipt of complete KYC, assuming no MCA queries. GST and other tax registrations add another 5–10 days.
Do I need a physical office to incorporate?
You need a valid registered office address with a utility bill and NOC from the owner. Co-working addresses and virtual offices are acceptable in most states.
Can foreign nationals be directors or shareholders?
Yes. At least one director must be resident in India. FDI-compliant shareholding is permitted for most sectors under the automatic route.
Do you help with post-incorporation compliance?
Yes — we hand over a 90-day compliance calendar covering INC-20A, auditor appointment, board meetings, and annual ROC filings, and we can retain compliance on a monthly basis.
