Choosing the right structure
Private Limited vs LLP vs OPC vs Partnership
Before anything is filed, we help you pick the structure that fits your plans for funding, compliance appetite and taxation.
- A clear comparison of Private Limited, LLP, OPC and partnership on fundraising, compliance load and tax.
- Guidance for founders who intend to raise external or foreign investment.
- Name availability check and reservation (RUN / SPICe+ Part A).
Private Limited Company
SPICe+ incorporation
The default choice for startups that will raise funds. We file the integrated SPICe+ form and get you fully operational.
- DSC and DIN for the directors.
- Drafting the MOA and AOA, and the SPICe+ / AGILE-PRO / INC-9 set.
- PAN, TAN, and bank-account and EPFO/ESIC registration bundled in incorporation.
- Certificate of Incorporation and guidance on commencement of business (INC-20A).
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
FiLLiP incorporation
A lighter-compliance vehicle suited to professional firms and ventures that do not plan to raise equity.
- Incorporation via FiLLiP, with DPIN/DSC for the partners.
- Drafting and filing the LLP Agreement (Form 3).
- PAN, TAN and bank-account set-up.
One Person Company (OPC)
A corporate structure for a single founder who wants limited liability without a second shareholder.
- OPC incorporation with nominee documentation.
- Advice on the turnover/capital thresholds that trigger conversion to a private company.

Registrations & add-ons
The other registrations most new companies need, arranged alongside incorporation.
