Company incorporation
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs uses SPICe+ and linked filings for company incorporation. Name approval, constitutional documents and director information are coordinated through the application.
Indian company formation
Company formation in India
Prepare your Indian establishment around the business activity, ownership and local operation. We connect the incorporation process with document preparation, banking requirements and international tax advice.
Your establishment options
Start with the right structure.
The route depends on your activity, ownership and operating plans. These are the decisions to resolve before the application.
Foreign corporate founders
A foreign corporate shareholder needs supporting incorporation and authorisation documents. Authentication, translation and signatory requirements should be settled before filing.
Registered office & local operation
Prepare evidence for the registered office, including premises consent where required. Review the directors, activity permissions and foreign-investment position for the proposed business.
Local establishment essentials
Know what comes next.
The exact document list follows the selected entity, owners and activity. Your adviser will confirm the requirements for your case.
- Prepare the memorandum, articles and proposed company name.
- Identify shareholders, directors and authorised representatives.
- Gather registered-office evidence and owner consent.
- Confirm foreign-document authentication and electronic signing requirements.
After incorporation
Plan for the years ahead.
Plan annual financial-statement and annual-return filings with the Registrar of Companies. The applicable forms, meeting requirements and audit work depend on the company’s classification and circumstances.
From decision to establishment
A clear path to your next company.
The scope is agreed before the work begins. You can see what is included, who is responsible and what information is needed.
01
Define your requirements
We review the activity, owners, operating markets and practical requirements. Where the destination is undecided, the brief starts with comparing options.
02
Review your proposal
Your proposal sets out the chosen route, work involved, professional fees and external costs. Timing is assessed against the actual application and dependencies.
03
Establish & prepare to operate
Following agreement, the incorporation work and supporting steps are coordinated. Banking, visas and sector permissions follow their own assessment and approval processes.

Time & dependencies
The document readiness, authority reviews and separate banking or immigration steps that influence delivery.
Your questions
Before you begin.
What needs preparation when a foreign company is a shareholder?
The incorporation brief should include the foreign company’s registration documents, its approval of the investment and the authorised representative. The applicable certification and signing requirements are confirmed before submission.
How much will my company setup cost?
We quote each case individually after reviewing the proposed activity, owners and required support. Your proposal separates professional fees from authority and third-party charges.
Can formation, banking and visas be handled together?
They can be coordinated within an agreed scope where applicable. Each follows its own requirements, and the relevant authority or bank makes the approval decision.
Your next step
Let’s plan your establishment.
Tell us your business activity, intended markets, ownership and any visa or banking needs. We will define the scope and prepare an individual proposal.
A short outline is enough to begin. Please do not email passports or bank documents at this stage.
