What Is Registration & Compliance?

Getting registered is the easy part. What catches business owners out is everything after it — the DIN KYC that lapses, the INC-20A that was never filed so the company technically cannot borrow, the GST return that was missed and now blocks the buyer's input credit, the annual ROC filings whose penalty accrues per day with no upper limit. By the time a bank or an investor asks for a compliance certificate, the cost of fixing years of neglect is many times what staying current would have cost.

SetuBridge handles the whole arc. Choosing the right structure in the first place — because a private limited company, an LLP, an OPC and a partnership have genuinely different consequences for liability, tax, funding ability and compliance load. Then incorporation and every registration your activity requires: GST, Udyam, professional tax, shop and establishment, import-export code, FSSAI, trademark and any sector licence.

And then the part that actually protects you: a compliance calendar with named responsibility and reminders, so returns, board meetings, statutory registers and annual filings happen on time rather than in a panic before a due date. If you are already behind, we assess the exposure, quantify it, and clean it up in a defined sequence.

Structures & Registrations

First pick the right structure, then layer on the registrations your activity actually requires.

  • Private Limited Company

    7 – 15 days

    The structure investors fund. Separate legal identity, limited liability, ability to issue shares and ESOPs — with the heaviest compliance load of the lot.

    • 2 directors, 2 shareholders minimum
    • No minimum paid-up capital
    • Annual ROC filings and audit

  • Limited Liability Partnership

    10 – 15 days

    Limited liability with partnership flexibility. Lighter compliance than a company, but cannot issue equity to investors.

    • 2 designated partners minimum
    • No audit below prescribed limits
    • Good for professional firms

  • One Person Company

    7 – 15 days

    A company with a single member and a nominee — corporate status and limited liability for a solo founder testing an idea.

    • One member, one nominee
    • Both must be Indian citizens
    • Convertible to Pvt Ltd later

  • Partnership / Proprietorship

    2 – 7 days

    Fastest and cheapest to start, with minimal compliance — but unlimited personal liability, which is the trade-off most owners underestimate.

    • Registered partnership deed
    • Simple tax treatment
    • Personal assets are exposed

  • Tax registrations

    7 – 15 days

    GST registration and amendments, professional tax and TDS setup, along with the return cycle explained so you know what falls due when.

    • GST registration and amendment
    • Professional tax
    • TAN and TDS setup

  • Licences & annual compliance

    Ongoing

    Udyam, shop and establishment, trade licence, IEC, FSSAI and sector permits — plus the ROC filings, registers and director KYC that keep it all valid.

    • Udyam and sector licences
    • AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC
    • Clean-up of past defaults

Benefits

What you actually gain from Registration & Compliance.

  1. Personal assets protected

    A company or LLP is a separate legal person. Business liabilities stop at the business, unlike a proprietorship where your house and savings are on the line.

  2. Access to credit and investment

    Banks lend against a documented entity with clean filings. Investors will not put money into a structure that cannot issue shares or shows years of ROC defaults.

  3. Penalties that never start

    ROC late-filing penalties accrue daily with no ceiling, and GST interest compounds. On-time filing costs a fraction of what regularisation costs later.

  4. Credibility in the market

    A registered entity with GST and Udyam can bill corporates, bid for tenders, list on GeM and sign contracts that proprietorship businesses are quietly excluded from.

Eligibility

Check where you stand before applying — we confirm all of this on the first call anyway.

Who needs this

  • Anyone starting a new business and unsure which structure to register under.
  • Existing proprietorships and partnerships converting to LLP or private limited for funding, liability or credibility reasons.
  • Businesses crossing the GST threshold — ₹40 lakh turnover for goods and ₹20 lakh for services in most states, lower in special category states.
  • Companies and LLPs that are behind on ROC filings and want to regularise before applying for credit.
  • Any business that needs a licence — food, import-export, manufacturing, healthcare, education — to operate legally.

Minimum requirements to incorporate

  • Private limited: two directors and two shareholders, at least one director resident in India. No minimum paid-up capital prescribed.
  • LLP: two designated partners, at least one resident in India.
  • OPC: one member and one nominee, both natural persons and Indian citizens.
  • A registered office address in India with proof and the owner's no-objection certificate.
  • Digital signature certificate for every proposed director or designated partner.

Why Choose SetuBridge

What working with us is actually like.

  • We tell you when the answer is no

    If you are not eligible, or the timing is wrong, or your credit record needs fixing first, we say so on the first call — before you have paid us anything.

  • One team, start to finish

    The same people who assess your case prepare the file and follow it up. You are not handed to a different desk after the sale, and you never re-explain your business.

  • 700+ businesses across 28 states

    We have run this process across 28 states and most sectors, so we know which departments, portals and branches move quickly and which need chasing.

  • Fees agreed in writing, upfront

    You know the cost before work starts. We never ask you to pay anything to a government official or bank employee, and no legitimate consultant will.

  • Follow-up is the actual work

    Most applications do not fail at filing — they stall at an unanswered query or a missed deadline. Chasing those to closure is the bulk of what we do for you.

  • You keep every document

    Certificates, acknowledgements, login credentials and filed copies are handed over to you. Nothing is held back to keep you dependent on us.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Choose a private limited company if you intend to raise equity funding, issue ESOPs or bring in outside shareholders; it is the only structure investors will fund. Choose an LLP if it is a professional or partner-run business with no external fundraising planned — compliance is lighter and there is no dividend distribution layer. If you are a single founder testing an idea, an OPC or even a proprietorship may be enough to start.

  • Typically 7–15 working days end to end, assuming documents are ready and the proposed name is available. Cost has three parts: government filing fees and stamp duty, which vary by state and authorised capital; DSC charges per director; and professional fees. We give a written all-inclusive quote before starting so there are no surprises.

  • It is mandatory once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services in most states, with lower thresholds in special category states. It is also mandatory regardless of turnover in several cases — inter-state supply of goods, e-commerce selling, reverse charge liability and a few others. Many businesses below the threshold register voluntarily anyway, because corporate buyers require a GST invoice.

  • Within the first 180 days: bank account and capital infusion, INC-20A commencement declaration, and appointment of the first auditor within 30 days. Annually: AOC-4 and MGT-7 with the ROC, income tax return, at least four board meetings, an AGM, statutory registers, and DIR-3 KYC for every director. Add GST and TDS returns on their own cycles.

  • Serious but fixable, and worth fixing now rather than later. ROC late fees accrue per day of delay with no upper limit, directors of a company that defaults for two consecutive years face disqualification, and a company can be struck off. We first quantify the exact exposure, then regularise in the right sequence. In many cases the penalty is far smaller than owners fear.

  • Yes. A residential address is acceptable as a registered office if you can produce a utility bill for the premises and a no-objection certificate from the owner. If you own the property, the NOC is from yourself. Some specific licences require commercial premises, and we flag that in advance when it applies to your activity.

  • Yes. Incorporation, GST, Udyam, IEC and ROC filings are all central and fully online, so location is irrelevant. State-level registrations such as professional tax and shop and establishment are filed on the relevant state portal. We work across India.

  • Yes, and it is a common step when a business starts raising money or winning larger contracts. It involves incorporating the new company, transferring the business and assets under a documented agreement, and migrating GST, bank accounts, licences and contracts. It is more involved than a fresh incorporation, which is why the structure conversation is worth having at the start.

Government fees, scheme limits and eligibility norms are revised from time to time. Figures on this page are indicative — our team confirms the rules in force on the day of filing before you commit to anything.
