Incorporation of the Company

This is the first legal step - officially registering your business.

We help you choose the best structure for your startup:

• Private Limited Company
• Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
• One Person Company (OPC)

Then we take care of the complete process:

• Checking and getting your company name approved
• Preparing the main documents (Memorandum & Articles of Association)
• Filing all forms with the government (SPICe+)
• Getting your Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, and TAN
• Helping you open the company bank account afterwards

We do it properly so there are no delays or problems later.

DPIIT Recognition (Startup India Benefits)
DPIIT recognition officially identifies a business as a startup under the Government of India guidelines. It offers several practical benefits, but the process must be handled carefully.

• Confirms your startup’s recognition under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT)
• Helps startups access government benefits such as tax exemptions and startup-related schemes
• Allows reduced compliance requirements during the early stages of the business
• Improves eligibility for government tenders and funding opportunities
• Supports faster processing of intellectual property applications
• We take care of the complete DPIIT application process, checking eligibility, preparing documents, and making sure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to.

DIR-8 & DIR-12 Keeping Director Records in Order
These are small but very important annual and event-based filings under the Companies Act, 2013.

• DIR-8: Every director must file this declaration confirming they are not disqualified.
• DIR-12: This form is filed with the ROC within 30 days for any change in appointment, resignation, or update in director details.

We handle filings accurately, so you never face penalties or compliance issues.
Notices for AGM & EGM

Every company must hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) within six months of the financial year-end and call an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) whenever important decisions require shareholder approval.

Our services include:
