Private Limited Company.
Discuss your ownership structure, incorporation requirements, and the next steps for setting up a private limited company.
Is this the right starting point?
A private limited company gives a business its own legal identity, with ownership represented by shares and management handled by directors.
When it fits
Founders planning shared ownership, investment or a business that operates through a company. Compare the ongoing governance and filing responsibilities with an LLP or an OPC before choosing.

Questions before you begin?
What does Private Limited Company support include?
Business structure and ownership discussion, name selection and application support, incorporation document preparation and PAN, TAN, and post-registration requirements. The final inclusions and handover documents are agreed before the engagement starts.
What should I have ready?
Proposed names, business activities, shareholding split, capital plan and director details.
Is a private limited company better than an LLP?
It depends on ownership, investment plans, how the business is managed and the continuing compliance commitment. Compare a company’s shareholding and governance with an LLP’s partner agreement before choosing.
Does incorporation include GST registration and annual filings?
They are separate requirements. Confirm which linked registrations are part of the incorporation work and whether GST registration, accounting, annual ROC filings or tax returns are separately included in your quote.
What happens if the company name or application needs changes?
The authority may request clarification or changes. Review alternative names and consistent founder/office documents early, and confirm how query responses or resubmissions are handled in the engagement.
What will it cost, and how long will it take?
The structure, participants, capital, state-specific charges and overseas documentation can affect the quote. Confirm professional fees, government charges, stamp duty and digital-signature costs where relevant. Readiness of founder and office records, name review, signing and authority queries affect progress. Preparation time and authority processing should be discussed separately.
Can I get help with existing records or an earlier application?
Share the current status, earlier submissions and any correspondence or deadlines. We’ll review the records and confirm the follow-up work that can be included.
