Launching your venture in Koramangala places you at the epicenter of innovation. Here’s a streamlined guide to getting your startup off the ground. Our team is here to handle the complexities, so you can focus on building your product.
- Choosing the Right Structure (Pvt Ltd vs. LLP): For most startups planning to raise funds, a Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) is the ideal structure. It allows for equity dilution and is preferred by VCs. An LLP offers operational flexibility and is suitable for bootstrapped businesses. We help you make the right choice.
- Securing Your Digital Identity (DIN & DSC): Essential for all founders, the Director Identification Number (DIN) and Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) are mandatory for filing electronic documents with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
- Naming Your Startup (ROC Name Approval): Your brand begins with a name. We conduct a comprehensive search to ensure its uniqueness and file for approval with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), adhering to all naming conventions.
- Drafting Foundational Documents (MOA & AOA): The Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) are your company's constitution. We draft these critical documents to align with your long-term vision, including clauses for fundraising and ESOPs.
