India / Business Setup
Make Your Business Official in India.
Registering a business in India starts with choosing the right structure: a private limited company, a limited liability partnership (LLP) or a one person company (OPC) each carry different obligations. We help you compare them, prepare the information for filing, and understand what follows registration.

Decisions and trade-offs
Private limited, LLP or OPC
Private limited companies suit businesses planning outside investment. LLPs suit professional and partnership models. OPCs are for a single founder. Eligibility and obligations differ, so we check the detail against current rules.
Foreign participation
Foreign ownership and investment may be subject to additional rules. We flag them early.

Fees and timelines
Government fees and professional fees both apply and vary with the structure and capital. We list them separately before you commit. Figures are not published here because they change.
07 / FAQ
Questions on this service
Which structure is best?
There is no single answer. It depends on funding plans, the number of founders and how you want to be taxed and regulated.
Can a foreigner start a company in India?
Often yes, subject to rules on the sector and investment. We explain what applies in your case.
Do you provide legal or tax advice?
Where a regulated opinion is needed, a qualified professional must give it. We are clear about that boundary.
What happens after registration?
There are further steps such as tax registrations, a bank account and ongoing compliance. We outline these.
How long does registration take?
It depends on the process, the structure and document readiness. We cannot promise a fixed timeline.
Can you also build my website and brand?
Yes. Branding and website services are part of our offer and can run alongside registration.
