Company, LLP and Business Registration

Starting a business? We help you choose the right structure, prepare the incorporation documents, and obtain the registrations your business needs to operate from day one. We also handle the post-incorporation filings that new companies often miss.

Who this is for

  • Founders setting up a private limited company or LLP
  • Family businesses formalising a partnership firm
  • Sole proprietors needing MSME (Udyam), shop establishment or professional tax registration

What's included

  • Private limited company and LLP incorporation through the MCA portal
  • Partnership deed drafting and firm registration
  • MSME (Udyam), shop establishment and professional tax registration
  • PAN, TAN, Digital Signature Certificate and bank account documentation
  • Post-incorporation compliance: auditor appointment, share certificates, commencement of business

Documents you will need

  • PAN and Aadhaar of all directors or partners
  • Passport-size photographs
  • Registered office address proof and owner NOC
  • Identity and address proof of directors (passport, voter ID or driving licence)
  • Two or three proposed company names

Key deadlines

  • 1Within 30 days of incorporation: first auditor appointment
  • 2Within 180 days of incorporation: declaration of commencement of business (Form INC-20A) for companies
  • 3Within 30 days of the AGM: annual financial statements (AOC-4); within 60 days: annual return (MGT-7)

Common mistakes we help you avoid

  • 1Choosing a company when a proprietorship or LLP would carry less compliance for the same business
  • 2Proposing names that conflict with existing companies or trademarks, causing rejection
  • 3Forgetting the commencement-of-business declaration and annual ROC filings

Deadlines and procedures above reflect the law as we understand it on 9 November 2026. They change, and exceptions apply. Confirm the dates for your case with us before relying on them.

Choosing a structure

The structure you choose affects personal liability, tax, compliance effort and how easily you can bring in partners or investors.

  • Sole proprietorship: simplest to start and run, but there is no legal separation between you and the business.
  • Partnership firm: two or more people under a partnership deed. Partners are personally liable for the firm’s debts.
  • Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): a separate legal entity with limited liability and lighter compliance than a company.
  • Private limited company: a separate legal entity with limited liability, suited to raising equity and to businesses that expect to grow. It carries the most annual compliance.

We talk through your plans, including who the owners are, whether you will raise funds and the kind of contracts you will sign, before recommending one.

How incorporation works

Companies and LLPs are registered online on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal. The usual steps are:

  • Digital Signature Certificates for the directors or designated partners.
  • Reserving a name that is not identical or too similar to an existing company, LLP or trademark.
  • Preparing the constitutional documents: memorandum and articles of association for a company, or the LLP agreement.
  • Filing the incorporation form, which for a company also applies for PAN and TAN together.

Processing time depends on the MCA and on whether the name or documents are queried.

Registrations that usually follow

After incorporation or setting up a firm, a business typically needs some of these: a current bank account, GST registration, Udyam (MSME) registration, shop and establishment registration and professional tax registration under state rules, and import-export code if you trade internationally. We prepare a checklist specific to your business.

The first year after incorporation

A new company has to appoint its first auditor, issue share certificates, file a declaration for commencement of business within the time limit, hold board meetings and maintain statutory registers. Missing these early steps is common and leads to fees and penalties later. We set up a first-year compliance calendar when the company is formed.

Business registration questions

Last updated 9 November 2026

How long does company or LLP registration take?

With complete documents and an available name, incorporation through the MCA portal commonly completes within one to two weeks. Name rejections, document resubmissions and portal processing times can extend this. We will give you a realistic estimate once we have seen your documents.
