Company Registration

Start Right, Stay Compliant

Company registration refers to the act of incorporating a business entity legally under the Companies Act, 2013 (for Private Limited, OPC, Public Ltd) or LLP Act, 2008 (for LLPs). It gives your company a separate legal identity, and it can own property, enter into agreements, and be sued or sue independently of the owners.

Types of business entities that you can register in India:

  • Private Limited Company (Pvt. Ltd.) – Ideal for startups and growing businesses seeking funding and limited liability.

  • Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) – Flexible structure combining partnership with limited liability.

  • One Person Company (OPC) – For solo entrepreneurs who want the benefits of a company structure.

 

  • Public Limited Company – Suitable for businesses planning large-scale operations and raising capital from the public.

  • Sole Proprietorship / Partnership Firm – Simpler forms, but with fewer advantages than incorporated forms.
