Business Registration & Entity Formation

Business registration and entity formation is the practice of choosing and creating the right legal vehicle for a business — a private limited company under the Companies Act 2013, an LLP under the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008, a partnership firm under the Indian Partnership Act 1932, or a proprietorship. Each structure allocates liability, tax, compliance and credibility differently: the company and LLP give limited liability, the company gives the equity-raiseable form, the firm is the lightweight traditional route, and the proprietorship is the simplest but carries unlimited personal liability. This is the gateway page for that practice.

The choice of structure decides the business's legal life. The company is the vehicle investors and lenders expect, with its incorporation under Section 7 of the Companies Act 2013 and its registered office under Section 12. The LLP combines limited liability with partnership flexibility under the LLP Act 2008. The firm and proprietorship are cheaper to run but expose the owners' personal assets to the business's liabilities. The decision is tax planning, risk planning and fundraising planning in one.

The cost of a wrong structure is paid slowly: a proprietorship that grows into a business needing investment, a partnership whose partners discover unlimited liability, a company formed with the wrong objects that needs amendments. Changing structure later — conversion — is more expensive than choosing right at formation.

This service is for founders choosing and forming their business entity. We advise on the structure fit, incorporate companies under the Companies Act 2013, form LLPs under the LLP Act 2008, register partnership firms under the Indian Partnership Act 1932, and complete the tax registrations — PAN, GST and the compliance calendar — so the entity starts life on the right footing.
