Structure Advisory

Business Structure Advisory

Choosing the right legal structure is the single most consequential decision you make before starting a business. It determines your tax exposure, fundraising options, liability protection, compliance burden, and exit flexibility. A Private Limited Company offers limited liability and is the preferred vehicle for startups seeking investor capital. An LLP suits professional service firms or capital-efficient businesses wanting pass-through taxation without heavy corporate compliance. An OPC enables a sole founder to have the benefit of limited liability without needing a co-founder. A Partnership works for small, trust-based ventures with modest compliance requirements. We analyse your business model, ownership intentions, funding plans, and sector to recommend the structure that serves your goals — not just today, but over the next five years.

Name Approval

Name Reservation (RUN / Name Approval)

Before a company or LLP can be incorporated, its name must be reserved and approved by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The Reserve Unique Name (RUN) portal for companies and the LLP-RUN service for LLPs allow applicants to propose names — but MCA applies strict guidelines: names cannot be identical or deceptively similar to existing companies, trademarks, or prohibited words. Rejections are common and costly in time. We conduct pre-filing name availability checks, assess trademark conflicts, draft names that comply with MCA guidelines, and file the RUN application to secure your first-choice name — or a strong backup — before the incorporation process begins.

Incorporation

Company / LLP Incorporation with MCA

Once the name is reserved and documents are in place, we file the incorporation forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs through the SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus) system for companies and FiLLiP (Form for Incorporation of Limited Liability Partnership) for LLPs. The process is end-to-end digital: DIN (Director Identification Number) allotment, digital signature certificates, SPICe+ Part A (name), Part B (incorporation + PAN/TAN + EPFO/ESIC + bank account + GST), and the issuance of the Certificate of Incorporation. We manage every step and deliver your Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, TAN, and CIN within the statutory timeline.

Post-Incorporation Registrations

PAN, TAN, GST & MSME / Udyam Registration

Incorporation is only the first step. Before your business can operate, bank, invoice, deduct TDS, or bid for government contracts, you need a set of tax and regulatory registrations in place. Many of these are now bundled within the SPICe+ form — but GST registration, MSME / Udyam registration, and professional tax registrations often require separate applications based on your turnover, sector, and state. We complete all post-incorporation registrations in one coordinated sweep so no compliance gap delays your first transaction.

PAN & TAN

Banking & Statutory Setup

Bank Account Opening & Initial Statutory Setup

A newly incorporated company cannot operate without a current account in its name — but banks require the Certificate of Incorporation, MOA & AOA, board resolution for account opening, PAN card, KYC of directors, and proof of registered office before approving an account. For startups, getting these documents right and engaging the right bank branch matters. We prepare the complete bank account opening document pack, draft the board resolution authorising the account, and coordinate with your bank to ensure a smooth account opening. Post-incorporation, we also set up your statutory registers — Register of Members, Register of Directors, Register of Charges — and issue share certificates to the founding shareholders. Your first board meeting is conducted with proper resolutions, statutory notices, and minutes — setting the governance tone from the start.

Foundational Documents

MOA, AOA, LLP Agreements & Founders Agreements

The constitutional documents of your entity — the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) for a company, and the LLP Agreement for an LLP — define its purpose, structure, powers, and governance rules. Template MOAs and AOAs are routinely filed without thought, but they bind the company for years. A MOA with an overly narrow object clause prevents future activities. An AOA that mirrors the default Table F leaves critical governance gaps. An LLP Agreement that does not address capital contribution, profit sharing, retirement, and dispute resolution creates avoidable conflict between partners. We draft these documents purposefully — reflecting your actual shareholding structure, director powers, reserved matters, share transfer restrictions, and governance framework — so the foundation holds as the business grows.
