Company Incorporation Services
Choosing the right structure and registering it correctly is the foundation everything else sits on. We incorporate private limited companies, LLPs, One Person Companies and Section 8 companies for founders in Bangalore and across India — and just as importantly, we make sure the decisions baked in at registration are the right ones, because several of them are slow and expensive to reverse.
Structures we incorporate
Private Limited Company
The standard vehicle for any company that will raise funding or issue ESOPs.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
The lowest-running-cost structure for a bootstrapped business with no near-term plan to raise equity.
One Person Company (OPC)
For a solo founder who wants the company form without a second shareholder.
Section 8 Company
For a not-for-profit or social enterprise.
If you are not sure which fits, that conversation is part of the engagement. Our guide on LLP vs Private Limited vs OPC sets out the trade-offs.
What the incorporation service includes
Name reservation, Digital Signature Certificates for the directors, drafting the Memorandum and Articles, filing the SPICe+ form, and the linked registrations that come with it — DIN, PAN, TAN and more — through to the Certificate of Incorporation. We also set up the first statutory registers and the opening board paperwork so the company starts compliant, not with a backlog.
How company registration works
Name Reservation
Submit two name options via SPICe+ Part A. MCA approves within 1–3 days; name reserved for 20 days.
DSC & Draft Documents
Digital Signature Certificates for all directors; Memorandum and Articles of Association drafted and reviewed.
SPICe+ Filing
SPICe+ Part B filed with integrated applications for DIN, PAN, TAN, GST, EPFO, ESI and bank account opening.
Certificate of Incorporation
ROC reviews and issues the Certificate. CIN, PAN and TAN allotted digitally. Usually 10–15 working days end-to-end.
Incorporation in India runs through the MCA's integrated SPICe+ form. For a private limited company with resident directors and clean documents, it usually completes in about one to two weeks. A foreign director adds time because their documents must be apostilled first. The full process is explained in our guide to incorporating a startup in Bangalore.
Getting the irreversible decisions right
The structure, the company name, the registered-office state, the authorised capital, the Memorandum objects and the founder equity split are all decided at incorporation — and each is costly to change later. We walk founders through these before filing. Our guide to the 9 incorporation decisions you cannot undo covers why this matters.
You may also want to check your ongoing compliance obligations using our FEMA Compliance Requirements Calculator — especially relevant if your company will have foreign investment or cross-border transactions.
Who this is for
First-time founders, startups planning to raise, professionals formalising a practice, and foreign companies setting up an Indian entity. If you are incorporating a subsidiary, see our guide to entering India as well.

Frequently asked questions
How do I register a company in India? +
Through the MCA's SPICe+ form, which reserves the name and handles incorporation along with DIN, PAN and TAN in one filing. With clean documents a private limited company is usually registered in about one to two weeks.
What does it cost to register a private limited company? +
The cost has four parts: MCA filing fees (which depend on authorised capital), state stamp duty, digital signature certificates for each director, and professional fees. The total varies with your capital, the number of directors and your state.
Which structure should I choose — LLP, Private Limited or OPC? +
Choose a Private Limited company if you will raise funding or issue ESOPs; an LLP if you want the lowest running cost with no equity raise planned; an OPC if you are a solo founder who wants the company form.
Can a foreign national be a director at incorporation? +
Yes, but the company must also have at least one resident director, and the foreign director's documents must be apostilled or consularised before filing.
