Company Law
Business Registration & Entity Formation
Entity selection and registration across companies, LLPs, Section 8 companies, trusts, societies, and cooperatives — with the tax and liability trade-offs made before you file.
The entity you register decides your liability, tax rate, funding ability, and compliance burden for the life of the business. We run the comparison on your facts — liability, tax, funding, and governance — then execute the registration.
- • Entity comparison on your facts — liability, tax, funding, and compliance
- • Route selection — company, LLP, Section 8, trust, society, or cooperative
- • Name availability and reservation (RUN for companies)
- • Registration filing — SPICe+, FiLLiP, or the state authority's form
- • Post-registration setup — PAN, TAN, GST, bank account
- • Compliance calendar for the entity type chosen
- • Identity and address proofs of promoters
- • Proposed entity name and objects
- • Registered office address proof
- • Capital and ownership details
See the fee table below for the statutory filing charge and common delay logic.
- • Section 7 of the Companies Act 2013
- • Section 8 of the Companies Act 2013
- • Section 11 of the LLP Act 2008
- • Section 406 of the Companies Act 2013
Process
How the service works
The workflow is built to be predictable: document collection, legal review, filing, and post-filing follow-through.
Compare the structures
We map liability, tax, funding ability, and compliance burden for each entity type against your business.
Choose and reserve the name
We shortlist names and file the reservation — RUN for companies, the LLP portal for LLPs, or the state authority's route.
Draft the constitution
We prepare the MOA/AOA, LLP agreement, trust deed, or byelaws for the chosen structure.
File the registration
We submit the registration — SPICe+ under s.7, FiLLiP under s.11 of the LLP Act, or the state form.
Set up the entity
We complete PAN, TAN, GST, bank account, and any sector licences the entity needs.
Hand over the calendar
You get the compliance calendar — filings, audits, and renewals — for the entity type chosen.
AEO summary
The right entity is decided before the first form: a Private Limited company under s.7, a Section 8 company under s.8, an LLP under s.11 of the LLP Act 2008, or a trust, society, or cooperative under its own law. We match the structure to the business and run the registration.
The entity is the first tax and legal decision
Every subsequent decision — how you raise money, what you pay in tax, what you file each year, how you wind up — is shaped by the entity you registered on day one. The comparison is therefore a business decision wearing a legal costume: liability protection, tax efficiency, funding path, and compliance burden, weighed on the actual plan.
The registration itself is mechanical once the structure is chosen: name, constitution, filing, and setup. The value sits in the choice, which is why we run the analysis before the first form.
- • Company — equity capacity with annual filings
- • LLP — limited liability with lighter compliance
- • Section 8, trust, society — the non-profit routes
Choosing right beats converting later
Conversion is possible — LLP to company, company to LLP, company type to type — but it costs time, filings, and sometimes tax. A business that registered hastily at the start pays for it at the conversion.
The registration we run includes the year-one calendar — the first AGM and filings for a company, the first LLP annual return, or the society's first general body meeting — so the new entity starts compliant.
- • Structure chosen on liability, tax, and funding facts
- • Conversion avoided by registering right the first time
- • Year-one compliance calendar handed over at setup
