i. Separate legal entity
A company is both a legal entity and a juristic person — it can acquire property, incur debts, sue, be sued, and hire employees in its own name.
Service
End-to-end Private Limited Company incorporation — from name approval and DSC to your Certificate of Incorporation.
A Private Limited Company requires a minimum of 2 Directors and 2 Shareholders, with at least one Director being an Indian resident and citizen.
Because a company is a separate legal entity, its members — whether shareholders or directors — are not personally liable for the company's obligations. A company also has perpetual succession: it continues to exist regardless of changes in membership, until it is legally dissolved. This combination of limited liability and continuity is what makes the Private Limited structure the default choice for serious businesses in India.
Why incorporate
A company is both a legal entity and a juristic person — it can acquire property, incur debts, sue, be sued, and hire employees in its own name.
Shareholders are liable only to the extent of their unpaid share capital. Personal assets of members remain protected from the company's obligations.
A company can raise both debt and equity from shareholders, angels, VCs, private equity, NBFCs, banks, and foreign investors — options unavailable to other structures.
The company continues to exist independent of its members. Death, retirement, or transfer of shares doesn't disrupt business continuity.
Mandatory ROC filings and statutory audits create a level of transparency that lenders and counterparties trust — making credit easier to obtain.
The "Private Limited" suffix signals seriousness to customers, partners, and regulators — particularly important for B2B engagements and government tenders.
Process
We obtain Digital Signatures by filing the relevant forms on the MCA portal. A DSC is mandatory for all proposed directors and for the subscribers to the Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA).
Anyone wishing to act as a director must obtain a DIN. We apply for DIN as part of the SPICe+ form (the integrated company registration form) — no separate filing required.
We complete the SPICe+ form, conduct a name run for your proposed name, and submit all required documents. If a name is rejected, we re-file with a fresh name (statutory fees apply on re-filing).
Once the Registrar of Companies verifies the application, the Certificate of Incorporation is issued — formally bringing your company into existence.
