Register your business in India the right way.
Choose the right structure, then let us handle the filing. We register private limited companies, OPCs, LLPs, Section 8 companies, Indian subsidiaries, partnerships and proprietorships, with PAN, TAN, GST, bank account and Udyam set up alongside.
Four questions that decide your structure
How many owners?
One owner points to a proprietorship or OPC; two or more to a partnership, LLP or company.
Do you need limited liability?
Companies and LLPs protect personal assets; proprietorships and partnerships don’t.
Will you raise investment?
Investors and many large buyers expect a private limited company.
How much compliance can you handle?
Companies have the most filings, LLPs fewer, and proprietorships the least.
