Questions, Answered

Frequently asked questions

Private Limited or LLP — which should I choose?

A Private Limited Company suits founders planning to raise external funding or issue ESOPs. An LLP suits professional services or smaller partnerships wanting limited liability with simpler compliance and no external fundraising need.

Do I need a registered office address to incorporate?

Yes — a valid Indian address with proof is required for MCA filing. Our virtual office service can provide a compliant registered address if you don’t have office space yet.

Can a foreigner or NRI be a director of an Indian company?

Yes — a company can have foreign or NRI directors, provided at least one director is a resident of India (someone who has stayed in India for a minimum number of days in the previous calendar year).

What happens after the Certificate of Incorporation is issued?

You'll receive your PAN and TAN, and we hand over a compliance calendar covering your first board meeting, bank account opening, and any GST or MSME registration decisions.

Can I change my company name or registered office later?

Yes, both are possible through separate ROC filings after incorporation — we can manage these as part of ongoing compliance support if needed.

Is a physical office mandatory to incorporate?

You need a valid registered address with documentary proof, but it doesn't need to be a leased commercial office — our virtual office service can meet this requirement.
