Starting a business in India involves more than completing registration. Once the business is set up, there are accounting, tax, company law, FEMA, RBI and other requirements that may apply based on the business structure. At PKP Consult, our business set up services cover both the initial setup and the post-incorporation work needed to keep the business organised and compliant.
For a new business, the first 90 days are a useful period to put these activities in order. Here is a simple roadmap based on the areas we support.
The first stage is about making sure the new business has a clear structure and the basic setup work is properly handled. We help entrepreneurs understand the available business structures and entry options before they proceed.
These may include:
Foreign investors may also choose a wholly owned subsidiary, Branch Office, Liaison Office, Project Office or Joint Venture Company, depending on their requirements.
During this stage, we can also assist with Class 2 DSCs, company name reservation and approval, ROC e-form filing, and incorporation certification.
After the business is established, attention can move to maintaining its financial records and handling applicable compliance work.
Our business set up services include post-incorporation support such as maintaining books of accounts and handling applicable requirements under Company Law, FEMA and RBI rules, GST and the Income Tax Act, depending on the business model.
A new business can therefore focus on areas such as:
| Area | Post-Setup Support |
| Accounts | Maintenance of books of accounts |
| Company Law | Applicable post-incorporation compliances |
| FEMA/RBI | Requirements applicable to the business model |
| GST | Applicable GST compliance |
| Income Tax | Applicable tax requirements |
The exact work depends on the constitution and requirements of the business.
By the third stage, a business should have a clearer understanding of its ongoing requirements. This is a good point to review whether the selected structure and compliance process match the business needs.
We provide support based on factors such as the nature and size of the business, risk, available financial resources, and the market segment being served. PKP Consult notes that LLP and Private Limited Company can be suitable choices unless circumstances suggest otherwise.
For foreign businesses, the review may also cover the chosen India entry route. We support different options, including subsidiaries, Branch Offices, Liaison Offices, Project Offices and Joint Ventures.
Setting up the entity is only one part of starting a business. The business may also need ongoing accounting and compliance support after incorporation. Our business set up services therefore extend beyond registration to help businesses manage these requirements.
We work with clients from Singapore, the USA, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom and other international markets. Our team guides you at each stage and adjusts the service according to the business requirements.
The first 90 days can be used to organise the business structure, records and applicable post-incorporation requirements. Instead of treating registration as the final step, businesses can plan for the work that follows.
