Startup Guides

Start Right, Step by Step.

Beginner-friendly guides covering entity choice, registrations, Startup India recognition and early compliance — written for founders, not lawyers.

  1. 1

    Start with liability

    If you want your personal assets protected from business debts, rule out sole proprietorship and general partnership — go with a Private Limited Company, LLP, or OPC.

  2. 2

    Think about funding plans

    Planning to raise from investors or issue ESOPs? A Private Limited Company is the only structure most Indian VCs and angels will invest in.

  3. 3

    Weigh the compliance load

    LLPs and proprietorships have lighter annual filing requirements than a Private Limited Company. If you want to stay lean, factor this in.

  4. 4

    Check who else is involved

    Solo founder with no co-founder plans? An OPC gives you limited liability without needing a second shareholder. Multiple founders usually means Pvt Ltd or LLP.

  5. 5

    Match it to your stage

    Many founders start as a proprietorship or LLP to test an idea cheaply, then convert to a Private Limited Company once they’re ready to raise or scale.
