Frequently asked questions
Which structure suits a small business best?
It depends on how many owners there are, whether you plan to raise investment and how much compliance you can manage. A private limited company suits businesses that plan to raise equity; an LLP suits professional firms and partners who want limited liability with lighter compliance; an OPC suits a single founder.
Can I use my home as the registered office?
Yes. A residential address can be the registered office, with a utility bill and a no-objection certificate from the owner.
Is a physical meeting needed for registration?
No. Incorporation is filed online on the MCA portal and digital signatures are used, so the process can be completed remotely.
