What's included
Everything in one transparent fee — no add-ons, no surprises.
Investor-Centric AOA Drafting
If you plan to raise institutional funding, standard Articles of Association (AOA) will not suffice. Venture capitalists demand specific clauses regarding right of first refusal (ROFR), tag-along/drag-along rights, and anti-dilution provisions. Our elite corporate lawyers draft sophisticated AOAs that anticipate future funding rounds, preventing costly and time-consuming structural overhauls when you secure term sheets.
Complex Multi-Founder Structuring
Co-founder disputes are the leading cause of early-stage startup failure. We don't just register your company; we advise on optimal equity splits, director roles, and authorized capital distribution. We provide templates for Co-Founder Agreements and vesting schedules, ensuring that the foundational relationship between partners is legally documented and aligned for long-term stability.
Rapid SPICe+ Processing Engine
Time is of the essence for startups. We utilize an advanced compliance engine that preemptively validates all data entered into the SPICe+ (INC-32) form. By cross-referencing PAN databases, checking DIN eligibility, and formatting registered office proofs perfectly, we eliminate typographical errors that typically cause frustrating ROC resubmission delays, ensuring first-pass approval.
Strategic Authorized Capital Advisory
Determining your initial Authorized Share Capital is a delicate balance. Set it too low, and you'll immediately face high fees to increase it during your first seed round. Set it too high, and you pay unnecessary upfront government stamp duty. We analyze your 12-to-18-month funding roadmap to recommend the exact optimal capital structure that minimizes immediate costs while accommodating your immediate growth.
ESOP Implementation Framework
Attracting top-tier talent in the startup ecosystem often requires offering Employee Stock Ownership Plans. A Private Limited Company is the only structure that efficiently supports this. As part of our premium advisory, we structure your initial cap table to accommodate a future ESOP pool seamlessly, ensuring you are ready to incentivize your founding team.
Comprehensive Post-Incorporation Toolkit
Receiving the Certificate of Incorporation is just the starting line. Within the first 30 to 180 days, you must open a bank account, appoint a statutory auditor (ADT-1), and file the Commencement of Business (INC-20A). We provide a complete post-incorporation execution service, handling these mandatory compliance milestones so you can focus entirely on product development and sales.

Common mistakes to avoid
Avoidable filing errors that cause delays or rejection. Each can be resolved before submission.
- 1Mismatched applicant legal name or identity details across KYC proofsWhy: Government verification APIs cross-check with UIDAI and MCA databases and automatically flag discrepancies in spelling or dates.Fix: Our specialists pre-validate your documents against official government databases before portal filing.
- 2Submitting outdated utility bills or non-notarized commercial leasesWhy: Premises proofs older than 60 days or defective landlord NOCs trigger statutory scrutiny queries and multi-week processing delays.Fix: We verify recent billing dates and provide pre-formatted, legally vetted landlord NOC and lease formats.
- 3Selecting incorrect classification, turnover slab, or statutory activity codeWhy: Applications filed under inappropriate classifications attract show-cause notices and potential rejection without statutory fee refund.Fix: We conduct a statutory scope assessment to align your application with the exact regulatory requirements.
