Company and LLP Incorporation in Bangalore

From name approval to your first board meeting — Private Limited, OPC and LLP incorporation through SPICe+, handled end to end.

The structure you choose at incorporation shapes your tax, your compliance burden and your ability to raise capital for years. Getting it right is worth a conversation before the forms are filed. Krishna & Associates handles the full incorporation journey in Bangalore — selecting the right entity, reserving the name, drafting the constitution, and putting in place the post-incorporation compliance that new founders most often forget.

Choosing the Right Entity

The common choices are Private Limited Company, One Person Company (OPC), Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), Partnership Firm and Proprietorship. A Private Limited suits businesses that intend to raise equity; an OPC suits a solo founder who wants limited liability; an LLP suits professional firms and small businesses that value flexibility and lighter compliance. We recommend a structure based on your funding plans, expected turnover and compliance appetite.

SPICe+ — One Integrated Application

Incorporation runs through the MCA's SPICe+ form. Part A reserves the company name; Part B covers incorporation itself along with the linked AGILE-PRO-S form. In a single application you can obtain the certificate of incorporation, PAN, TAN, GST registration, EPFO and ESIC registration, professional tax registration and a bank account.

Documents Required

For each director and shareholder we need PAN, Aadhaar and address proof; for the registered office, proof of address and a No-Objection Certificate from the owner. A digital signature certificate is required for the subscribers, and proof of the registered office (utility bill not older than two months) completes the set.

MOA and AOA Drafting

The Memorandum (INC-33) and Articles (INC-34) define what the company may do and how it governs itself. The main objects clause must be drafted with care and matched to the correct NIC code, because it determines the activities the company is authorised to carry on. A vague objects clause causes problems later when opening accounts or bidding for work.

Linked Registrations and DSC

Alongside incorporation we arrange DIN for directors, PAN and TAN, GST, EPFO, ESIC and professional tax, and the bank account. First directors need a Class 3 individual DSC, which we arrange with paperless KYC. For an LLP, designated partners obtain a DPIN in place of a DIN, and eligible new companies can additionally seek Startup India (DPIIT) recognition, which opens access to the Section 80-IAC tax holiday and lighter compliance for qualifying startups.

Post-Incorporation Compliance — Don't Miss These
INC-20A commencement-of-business declaration under Section 10A within 180 days · first board meeting within 30 days · statutory registers and share certificates within 60 days · auditor appointment and Form ADT-1.

After Incorporation

A certificate of incorporation is the start, not the finish. We help with the INC-20A commencement filing under Section 10A, the first board meeting, statutory registers, issue of share certificates and the appointment of the first auditor through Form ADT-1 — then move you onto ongoing ROC annual filings and payroll if you are hiring. New companies usually need GST and income tax support from day one, and we handle both. See our complete services.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does company incorporation take in 2026?
With digital signatures ready and documents in order, a private limited company is typically incorporated within about 7 to 10 working days through the SPICe+ process, subject to MCA processing and name availability. Delays usually come from name objections or incomplete director KYC rather than the filing itself.
What is the minimum capital for a private limited company?
There is no minimum paid-up capital requirement for a private limited company; the Companies (Amendment) Act 2015 removed the earlier ₹1 lakh floor. You can incorporate with a nominal authorised and paid-up capital and increase it later as the business grows.
Can a foreign national be a director of an Indian company?
Yes, a foreign national can be a director, but under Section 149(3) of the Companies Act 2013 every company must have at least one director who is resident in India, meaning a person who has stayed in India for 182 days or more in the previous financial year. Foreign directors need an apostilled or consularised set of documents and a digital signature certificate.
What is the difference between an LLP and a Private Limited company?
An LLP combines limited liability with the flexibility of a partnership, has lighter annual compliance (Form 8 and Form 11) and no concept of shareholding, which suits professional firms and small businesses. A private limited company can issue shares, raise equity and is generally preferred by businesses seeking external investment, but carries heavier compliance under the Companies Act.
Do I need GST registration at incorporation?
GST registration is not automatically required at incorporation; it depends on turnover thresholds and the nature of supply. However, the SPICe+ application allows you to apply for GST along with PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC and a bank account in a single integrated form, so it is convenient to obtain it at the same time if you expect to need it.
