Startup & Incorporation

From zero to compliant in the shortest path.

Most founders waste their first six months drowning in registrations, opening bank accounts, picking the wrong entity, and learning what compliance they didn't know existed.

NGA gets you from idea to fully operational — entity registered, books opened, GST and TDS active, founder agreements drafted, capital structure clean. Done by people who actually advise founders, not just file forms.

Private Limited Company

Name reservation, MOA / AOA, SPICe+ filing, PAN, TAN, bank account assistance — typically operational in 10–14 days.

LLP, OPC, Section 8

The right entity for your stage. We'll tell you which fits — and set it up properly.

DPIIT Startup India

Recognition for tax exemptions, IPR benefits, and government tender access. Application drafted to actually clear.

MSME / Udyam, GST, IEC

The full registration stack — MSME / Udyam, GSTIN, IEC for export/import, professional tax, shop & establishment.

Sector-specific Licences

FSSAI, FFMC, NBFC, IRDA, RNI — sectoral approvals where applicable.

Founder & Capital Structure

Founder agreements, vesting, ESOP pool design, share class structuring — built so the next round doesn't unwind it.

Who this is for

If you're starting up, this is the path.

First-time founders

You've got an idea and a co-founder. We'll handle the boring-but-critical infrastructure so you can build.

Solo professionals scaling up

Moving from sole-prop to OPC or LLP — to limit liability, look professional, and prepare for growth.

Foreign founders entering India

WOS, JV, or branch — with FEMA, FDI, and ROC compliance handled by the same team.

Our Approach

How we work with founders.

Advisory, not just filing

Pvt Ltd vs LLP. ESOP vs sweat equity. Founder vesting. Capital class. We advise on the right structure — not just register one.

Built to scale

The structure we set up survives Series A diligence, FDI infusions, and exit transactions without rework.

One team, full stack

Incorporation, GST, FEMA, TDS, ROC, audit — same firm. No handoff, no finger-pointing.

Common questions

Startup & Incorporation — questions we're asked most.

Should I incorporate as a Private Limited or an LLP?

Private Limited is preferred where you plan to raise equity, issue ESOPs, or need higher perceived credibility. LLP is preferred for professional partnerships and lower compliance load with pass-through taxation. Investors typically require Pvt Ltd for institutional funding.

How long does company registration take in India?

Under the SPICe+ integrated form on MCA V3, a Private Limited company can typically be incorporated in 7-14 working days if all founder KYCs, address proof and DSCs are in order. Bank-account opening after incorporation adds a few more days.

What is DPIIT Startup India recognition and why does it matter?

DPIIT recognition under the Startup India programme grants tax exemptions (Section 80-IAC three-year holiday and Section 56 angel-tax exemption), IPR benefits and access to government tenders. Eligibility requires the entity to be under 10 years old with turnover under ₹100 crore and to be working on innovation.

Can a foreign national incorporate a Private Limited company in India?

Yes. At least one director must be a resident (spent 182 days or more in India in the previous FY), but the other directors and shareholders can be foreign. FDI in the entity must comply with sectoral caps under FEMA. Post-allotment, FC-GPR filing is required within 30 days.

What compliance kicks in once I incorporate?

Immediately: commencement of business declaration (Form 20A within 180 days), first board meeting within 30 days, auditor appointment (Form ADT-1) within 30 days. Annually: statutory audit, ROC filings (AOC-4, MGT-7), Income Tax return, GST returns if registered, DIR-3 KYC of directors, and DPT-3 where applicable.
