Business Structures

Types of Companies in India

India offers several business structures under the Companies Act 2013 and the LLP Act 2008, each suited for different business objectives.

Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd)

The most popular business structure for startups and growth-oriented businesses in India. A Private Limited Company is held by a minimum of 2 and maximum of 200 members. It offers limited liability protection, separate legal entity status, and is the preferred structure for raising equity funding from investors.

  • Minimum 2 directors, maximum 15
  • No minimum paid-up capital requirement
  • Restricts share transferability
  • Ideal for VC/angel funding

Public Limited Company (Ltd)

A Public Limited Company can be listed on a stock exchange and allows public subscription of shares. It requires a minimum of 7 members and 3 directors, making it suitable for larger enterprises planning to raise capital from the general public through IPOs.

  • Minimum 7 members, no maximum limit
  • Minimum 3 directors
  • Can list on stock exchanges
  • Higher compliance requirements

One Person Company (OPC)

Introduced by the Companies Act 2013, OPC allows a single individual to incorporate a company with limited liability protection. It is ideal for solo entrepreneurs who want the benefits of a corporate structure without the need for multiple members or directors.

  • Single member and director
  • Nominee director required
  • Limited liability protection
  • Only for Indian residents

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

Governed by the LLP Act 2008, an LLP combines the flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability benefits of a company. It is suitable for professional services firms, consulting businesses, and entities that do not require external equity funding.

  • Minimum 2 designated partners
  • Lighter compliance burden
  • No concept of share capital
  • Cannot raise equity funding
Our Process

Step-by-Step Incorporation Process

We follow a systematic and transparent approach to ensure your company is registered efficiently and in full compliance with all regulatory requirements.

01

Consultation & Structure Selection

We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your business objectives, funding plans, tax considerations, and compliance preferences. Based on this analysis, we recommend the most suitable business structure — whether it is a Private Limited Company, OPC, LLP, or Public Limited Company.

02

Name Approval & Reservation

We conduct a name availability check on the MCA portal and apply for name reservation through the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service. We ensure the proposed name complies with the Companies (Incorporation) Rules and does not infringe on any registered trademarks or existing company names.

03

Digital Signature & DIN Application

We assist in obtaining Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) for all proposed directors and apply for Director Identification Numbers (DIN) through the MCA portal. DSC is required for digitally signing incorporation documents, while DIN is a unique identification number for every director.

04

Document Preparation

Our team drafts the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) tailored to your business objectives. We also prepare all supporting documents including affidavits, declarations, registered office address proofs, and consent forms from proposed directors.

05

SPICe+ Form Filing

We file the SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus) form on the MCA portal, which is an integrated form for company incorporation, DIN allotment, PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC, and GST registration. This single-form approach streamlines the entire incorporation process.

06

Certificate of Incorporation & Post-Incorporation

Upon approval by the Registrar of Companies, we receive the Certificate of Incorporation along with the company's PAN and TAN. We then assist with post-incorporation requirements including opening a bank account, obtaining GST registration, and setting up initial compliance frameworks.

Documentation

Documents Required for Incorporation

The following documents are generally required for company incorporation in India. Specific requirements may vary based on the type of company, number of directors, and state of incorporation.
