India recognises multiple business structures under the Companies Act, 2013 and LLP Act, 2008. Our CA team helps you understand each option clearly.
Governed by the Companies Act, 2013. Requires minimum 2 directors and 2 shareholders. Provides limited liability protection, a separate legal identity, and the ability to raise equity from investors. Most preferred structure by funded founders in India.
Governed by the LLP Act, 2008. Combines partnership flexibility with limited liability protection. Lower compliance cost than a Private Limited Company. Suitable for CA firms, consultancies, and businesses not seeking equity funding.
Introduced under the Companies Act, 2013. Allows a single person to operate a company with limited liability and a separate legal identity. Ideal for freelancers and solo entrepreneurs who want corporate credibility without a co-founder.
A company incorporated for promoting charitable objectives such as education, arts, science, environment, or social welfare under the Companies Act, 2013. Profits, if any, must be applied toward advancing stated objectives and cannot be distributed to members.
Requires a minimum of 7 shareholders and 3 directors. Can raise capital from the general public by issuing shares. Subject to higher compliance requirements under SEBI and Companies Act, 2013. Suitable for businesses planning future public listing.
A wholly-owned or majority-owned Indian company incorporated by a foreign parent entity. Subject to FEMA and FDI regulations. Our team provides end-to-end advisory on foreign investment rules, RBI compliance, and incorporation under the Companies Act, 2013.
