Business registration
Private Limited Company Registration
Incorporate a private limited company with limited liability and room to grow. We handle name approval, DSC, DIN and the incorporation filing.
A private limited company is the most popular structure for growing businesses in India. It is a separate legal entity, so the company owns its assets and owes its debts, and the personal assets of shareholders are generally protected. It continues to exist even if owners or directors change, and it can bring in investors by issuing shares.
Who it suits
Founders who plan to grow, hire, raise funding or work with large clients often choose a private limited company. It is also a common choice for family-owned and professionally managed small businesses that want limited liability and a structure banks and investors understand.

Frequently asked questions
How many directors and shareholders do I need?
A private limited company needs a minimum number of directors and shareholders, and at least one director must be resident in India. The same person can be both a director and a shareholder. If you are the only founder, a one person company may suit you better.
Who can be a director?
Any adult individual with valid identity documents can be a director, including NRIs and foreign nationals, subject to the resident director requirement. A company or other legal entity can be a shareholder but cannot be a director.
Do I need to visit any office?
No. Company registration in India is an online process. You send scanned copies of your documents and sign digitally. The certificate of incorporation is issued electronically.
Is there a minimum capital requirement?
There is no longer a fixed minimum paid-up capital requirement for private limited companies. You can start with an amount that suits your business. We will discuss a sensible figure with you.
What compliance does a private limited company have after registration?
Companies have ongoing obligations, including board meetings, statutory registers, an audit of accounts, annual ROC filings and income tax returns. We can help with all of these through our ROC filing and bookkeeping services.
