Business Structuring
& Incorporation

Get the foundation right·before everything is built on it

Every business begins with a decision about structure. The right one protects you for years. The wrong one quietly costs you control, money, and time you cannot get back.

Overview

The decisions you make at the start decide everything that follows.

Most founders treat incorporation as a formality, a form to file before the real work begins. In practice it is the single most consequential decision a business makes. The entity you choose, how ownership is divided, and the agreements you put in place at the start determine how you raise money, how you keep control, how you are taxed, and what happens if a co-founder leaves or a dispute arises.

We help founders get this right the first time, so the structure works for the business it is going to become, not just the one it is today.

What We Do
01

Entity selection and structuring

Choosing the right vehicle, private limited, LLP, OPC, or a holding structure, based on how you intend to raise, scale, and exit, not on what is fastest to register.

02

Company and LLP incorporation

End to end incorporation, from name approval and documentation to certificate of incorporation, PAN, TAN, and the post incorporation setup that gets you operational.

03

Founder equity, vesting, and control

Deciding who holds what, with vesting schedules, control and veto rights, and the protective terms that keep the people who built the business in control of it.

04

Shareholders and founders agreements

The agreements that govern the relationship between owners, covering decision rights, transfers, exits, deadlock, and what happens when circumstances change.

05

Startup India and DPIIT registration

Recognition and registration that unlock tax benefits, funding access, and regulatory relaxations available to eligible startups.

06

Post incorporation compliance setup

The statutory registers, first board actions, and compliance calendar that keep a newly formed company clean from day one.

A structure built right is invisible. A structure built wrong shows up at the worst possible moment.

Our Approach

We start with where you intend to take the business, then work backward to the structure that gets you there with the fewest obstacles. We explain the trade-offs in plain terms, so you understand not just what we recommend, but why. And where a matter calls for licensed legal or audit work, we coordinate the right professionals around it.

Who This Is For

First time founders incorporating their first venture. Co-founders dividing equity and control. Promoters setting up a holding or group structure. And established businesses that were set up in a hurry and now need the foundation corrected before they raise or scale.

Getting the structure right is the cheapest investment you will ever make in your own business. Let us help you make it.
