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