private company icon     What is Private Limited Company?

A Private Limited Company is a Company limited by shares in which there can be maximum 200 shareholders, no invitation can be made to the public for subscription of shares or debentures, cannot make or accept deposits from Public and there are restriction on the transfer of shares. The minimum number of shareholders is 2.

  public limited comp   What is Public Limited Company?

A Public Limited Company is a Company limited by shares in which there is no restriction on the maximum number of shareholders, transfer of shares and acceptance of public deposits. The liability of each shareholder is limited to the extent of the unpaid amount of the shares face value and the premium thereon in respect of the shares held by him. However, the liability of a Director / Manager of such a Company can at times be unlimited. The minimum number of shareholders is 7.

sole proprietorship    What is Sole Proprietorship?

A sole proprietorship is a business that is owned and managed by a single person. You could have one up and running within 15 days, which makes it very popular among the unorganized sector, particularly small traders and merchants.

There is no such thing as registration; proprietorships are recognized by other registrations, such as a service tax registration or sales tax registration. As you would imagine with a business that’s so easy to set up, though, its shortcomings are severe: the liability of the proprietor is unlimited and it does not have a continuous existence.

 

llp icon   What is LLP? 

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), introduced only in 2008, has quickly become a popular legal structure for businesses. Its main improvement over the General Partnership is that, as the name indicates, it limits the liabilities of its partners to their contributions to the business and also offers each partner protection from the negligence, misdeeds or incompetence of the other partners.

The LLP is also cheaper to incorporate than a private limited company, requires fewer compliances and can be a smart choice from a tax perspective.

 

partnership icon    What is Partnership?

A partnership is a business structure in which two or more individuals manage and operate a business in accordance with the terms and objectives set out in the Partnership Deed. This structure is thought to have lost its relevance since the introduction of the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) because its partners have unlimited liability, which means they are personally liable for the debts of the business.

However, low costs, ease of setting up and minimal compliance requirements make it a sensible option for some, such as home businesses that are unlikely to take on any debt. Registration is optional for partnerships.

 

one comp registrationWhat is One Person Company registration?

The One Person Company (OPC) was recently introduced as a strong improvement over the sole proprietorship. It gives a single promoter full control over the company while limiting his/her liability to contributions to the business. This person will be the only director and shareholder there is a nominee director, but with no power until the original director is incapable of entering into contract.

So there’s no chance of raising equity funding or offering employee stock options. Furthermore, if an OPC hits an average three-year turnover of over Rs. 2 crore or has a paid-up capital of over Rs. 50 lakh, it must be turned into a private limited company or public limited company within six months.

Documents required for Company Formation Registration Process:

  • Scanned copy of PAN Card or Passport (Foreign Nationals & NRIs)
  • Scanned copy of Voter’s ID/Passport/Driver’s License Scanned copy of Latest Bank Statement/Telephone or Mobile Bill/Electricity or Gas Bill

  • Scanned passport sized photographs
  • Scanned copy of no-objection certificate from property owner
  • Scanned copy of Sales deed/Property deed in English
  • Specimen signature 
  • Scanned passport-sized photograph Specimen signature (blank document with signature [directors only])

Do I need to be physically present during this process?
No, new company formation registration is a fully online process. As all documents are filed electronically, you would not need to be physically present at all. You would need to send us scanned copies of all the required documents & forms.
 
Can I start business immediately after submission of all the documents?
No. One can start the business operations only after the receipts of certificate of incorporation in case of private limited company and only after the receipt of certificate of commencement of business in case of a public company.
 
Can I introduce a foreign national as a director? What are the legal aspects involved, documents required?
Yes, A foreign national can become a director of a company  registered  in India provided he/she has to apply for Director Identification Number from the Government of India.
 
Can I just register it now and start functioning business after 1 0r 2 years?
Yes, you can register a private limited company now and start functioning after 1 or 2 years. But as the company is registered under the Companies Act 1956 you will need to comply with the provisions of the Companies Act. It means you have to get balance sheet and profit and loss account prepared from the chartered accountant and the 1st annual general meeting  shall be held in the first financial year & the subsequent meetings for the next year.
