Company Registration
in India

CA-led incorporation from name reservation to Certificate of Incorporation — typically 7–10 working days with complete documents.

Registering your company is the single most important step in transforming your business idea into a legally recognised, investor-ready enterprise. Under the Companies Act, 2013, a properly registered company enjoys separate legal identity, limited liability protection, and access to a vastly wider pool of funding, talent, and market opportunities. At AnyTax.in, our CA-led team manages the entire incorporation process — from name reservation and DSC procurement to MOA/AOA drafting and Certificate of Incorporation — so you can focus entirely on building your business.

Why Incorporate a Private Limited Company?

01

Separate Legal Entity

The company can own property, enter contracts, and sue or be sued in its own name — independent of its promoters.

02

Limited Liability Shield

Shareholders are liable only to the extent of their shareholding. Personal assets remain fully protected.

03

Preferred by Investors & VCs

Angel investors, venture capitalists, and private equity firms almost exclusively invest in Pvt Ltd companies.

04

Tax Efficiency

Corporate tax rates of 22% (existing companies) and 15% (new manufacturing companies under Section 115BAB) are significantly lower than individual slab rates for higher incomes.

05

Credibility with Banks & Clients

A registered company inspires greater confidence in lenders, enterprise clients, and government bodies.

06

Employee Stock Options (ESOPs)

Attract and retain top talent with structured equity compensation plans.

07

Perpetual Succession

The company survives beyond any changes in its ownership or management structure.

The most popular structure for startups, SMEs, and growth-oriented businesses. Requires a minimum of 2 directors and 2 shareholders. Offers the strongest combination of credibility, funding access, and tax efficiency.

Ideal for solo entrepreneurs who want limited liability and separate legal identity without a co-promoter. Requires just one director and one nominee.

Public Limited Company

Suited for large enterprises seeking to raise capital from the public through stock exchanges. Requires a minimum of 3 directors and 7 shareholders, and is subject to greater regulatory scrutiny.

The preferred entity for non-profits, NGOs, and social enterprises. Registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, it enjoys income tax exemptions and is viewed with high credibility by donors and CSR grantors.
