Business Setup Assistance
Helping founders and foreign investors decide the right entity structure and then handling every registration that follows, so the setup phase doesn't turn into a scattered list of separate vendors.
Setting up a business in India typically involves choosing an entity structure, incorporating or registering it, and then completing tax, labour and sector-specific registrations before operations begin. The right sequence depends on the founder's residency, the sector's FDI policy, expected turnover, and whether the business will hire employees or hold physical premises, which is why entity selection should come before any registration is filed.
What our business setup assistance covers
One coordinated engagement instead of five separate filings.
- Comparing entity options such as proprietorship, partnership, LLP, private limited company and OPC against the founder's goals
- Advising foreign investors on FDI route, sectoral caps and whether an Indian subsidiary or liaison office fits better
- Handling incorporation or registration of the chosen entity end to end
- Coordinating GST, Shop and Establishment, Professional Tax, EPFO and ESIC registrations as applicable
- Assisting with sector-specific licences such as FSSAI, import-export code, or trade licences where relevant
- Setting up the first-year statutory and tax compliance calendar so nothing is missed after setup
What decides the right structure to begin with
The factors we assess before recommending an entity type.
Founder Profile
Whether the founder is resident, an NRI, or a foreign national or company changes which structures are even eligible under company law and FEMA.
Scale & Funding Plans
A business planning to raise institutional funding needs a different structure from one that intends to stay founder-funded indefinitely.
Sector & Licensing
Regulated sectors such as food, finance, healthcare or import-export bring additional licensing requirements that affect entity choice and timeline.
Compliance Appetite
Some structures carry materially lower ongoing compliance than others, which matters for early-stage teams without a dedicated finance function.

Why setup projects go over timeline
What sets our approach apart.
Registrations are sequential, not parallel
Several registrations depend on a prior one being completed first, so an uncoordinated approach across vendors often causes avoidable delays.
The wrong entity choice is expensive to reverse
Restructuring after incorporation, such as converting a proprietorship to a company, involves cost and tax implications that a better upfront choice avoids.
Post-setup compliance is often nobody's responsibility
Founders focused on incorporation frequently miss the first GST return or ROC filing because no one was handed the compliance calendar.
