Expert Guidance for Company and LLP Incorporation in India — From Structure Selection to Certificate of Incorporation

An incorporation consultant provides expert advisory and filing services for incorporating a company or LLP in India — guiding founders through the entire process from choosing the right legal structure and preparing documents to filing with the MCA and receiving the Certificate of Incorporation. The role combines regulatory knowledge, procedural expertise, and practical experience to ensure the business is set up correctly from the very beginning.

Our incorporation consulting service covers all types of business entities — private limited companies, LLPs, One Person Companies, Section 8 not-for-profit companies, public limited companies, and Indian subsidiaries of foreign companies. We provide hands-on guidance at every step, ensuring timelines are met and documents are correct.

Our Incorporation Consulting Services

Structure Selection Advisory

Comparing all available legal structures — company, LLP, OPC, partnership, proprietorship, trust — against the client's ownership, liability, tax, fundraising, and compliance requirements to recommend the most suitable option.

Document Collection & Preparation

Guiding founders on exactly which documents are required — identity proof, address proof, photographs, and location documents — and preparing or reviewing all forms before MCA submission.

Name Search & Reservation

Conducting a comprehensive name availability search on MCA, checking trademark conflicts, and filing the RUN or SPICe+ Part A application for name reservation.

MCA Filing (SPICe+ / FiLLiP)

Preparing and filing the SPICe+ form (for companies) or FiLLiP (for LLPs) with all annexures — MOA, AOA, director declarations, and registered office proof — on the MCA21 portal.

Post-Incorporation Checklist

Providing a comprehensive post-incorporation checklist — first board meeting, auditor appointment, share certificate issuance, bank account opening, and all registrations required to commence operations.

Ongoing Advisory

Advising on first-year compliance obligations, annual filing timelines, and the full regulatory calendar — so founders are never surprised by a compliance requirement or penalty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of an incorporation consultant?
An incorporation consultant guides the founder through the entire process of setting up a business entity in India — from deciding the right structure (company, LLP, OPC, etc.) to preparing and filing the incorporation documents with the MCA. They ensure the name, documents, and forms comply with MCA requirements, avoiding rejections and delays. Post-incorporation, a good consultant also outlines the compliance calendar and assists with immediate post-registration tasks like auditor appointment and bank account setup.
What documents are required for private limited company registration?
For Indian directors and shareholders: PAN card; Aadhaar card or voter ID or passport (address proof); recent photograph; mobile number and email linked to Aadhaar (for DSC); and address proof of the registered office (electricity bill or ownership document + NOC from owner if rented). For foreign directors: passport (identity proof); driving licence, bank statement, or utility bill apostilled or notarised in their country of residence (address proof); and a recent photograph. All documents must be self-attested and in English or with certified translation.
What is INC-20A and why is it important?
INC-20A is the Declaration for Commencement of Business that must be filed by every company having a share capital before commencing business operations or exercising borrowing powers. It must be filed within 180 days of the date of incorporation and certifies that every subscriber to the MOA has paid for the shares subscribed by them. Failure to file INC-20A within 180 days results in a penalty of ₹50,000 on the company and ₹1,000 per day on each officer in default until the filing is completed.
What are the most common mistakes in company incorporation?
Common mistakes include: choosing the wrong structure (e.g., incorporating a company when an LLP would have been more tax-efficient); incorrect registered office address documentation; proposed names that are too similar to existing companies or trademarks; not having Aadhaar linked to mobile for DSC generation; incorrect or inconsistent address proof; not appointing an auditor within 30 days (ADT-1); and not filing INC-20A within 180 days. An experienced incorporation consultant prevents all of these.
Can I change the company name, registered office, or directors after incorporation?
Yes. Company name can be changed by passing a special resolution, filing RUN for new name approval, and then INC-24 with the ROC — resulting in a new Certificate of Incorporation. Registered office within the same city can be changed by board resolution and INC-22. Directors can be changed by filing DIR-12 within 30 days of any appointment, resignation, or removal. All changes require timely ROC filings — delays attract additional fees of ₹100 per day.
