Entity types

Choose the right structure

Each entity type serves different business needs and carries different compliance obligations.

Most popular
Private Limited Company
The go-to structure for founders who want to build a scalable business, raise investment, or bring in multiple stakeholders. Governed by the Companies Act, 2013.
Why choose Pvt Ltd?
  • Separate legal identity — company can own assets, enter contracts in its own name
  • Limited liability — personal assets of directors fully protected
  • Investor-ready — can issue equity shares, accept venture capital and angel funding
  • Credibility — preferred by banks, large clients, and government tenders
  • ESOP-friendly — can incentivise employees with stock options
  • Eligible for Startup India recognition and DPIIT certificate
Taxation
  • Corporate tax: 22% (existing) or 15% (new manufacturing cos.) + surcharge + cess
  • MAT (Minimum Alternate Tax) applicable at 15% of book profits
  • Dividends taxed in hands of shareholders at applicable slab rates
  • Can carry forward losses for 8 years; set off against future profits
Structure & requirements
  • Minimum 2 directors, maximum 15; at least 1 must be an Indian resident
  • Minimum 2 shareholders; directors and shareholders can be the same persons
  • Minimum authorised capital: ₹1,00,000 (no paid-up capital minimum post-2015)
  • Registered office address mandatory in India
  • Filed via SPICe+ (INC-32) on MCA21 V3
Pvt Ltd vs LLP vs OPC
  • Choose Pvt Ltd over LLP if you plan to raise equity funding — LLPs cannot issue shares
  • Choose Pvt Ltd over OPC if you have co-founders or need more than 1 director
  • Higher compliance than LLP but far greater flexibility for growth and investment
Low compliance
Limited Liability Partnership
The ideal structure for professionals, consultants, and service businesses who want limited liability without the heavy compliance burden of a company. Governed by the LLP Act, 2008.
Why choose LLP?
  • Separate legal identity — just like a company, but with partnership flexibility
  • Limited liability — partners protected from each other's wrongful acts
  • No mandatory minimum capital contribution required
  • Fewer ROC filings — only Form 8 and Form 11 annually
  • No requirement to hold board meetings or maintain extensive minutes
  • Ideal for CA firms, law firms, architects, consultants, and service professionals
Taxation
  • Taxed as a firm: flat 30% on profits + surcharge + cess
  • Partners' share of profit is exempt from tax in their hands (no double taxation)
  • No Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) — profit distribution is tax-efficient
  • MAT not applicable to LLPs — a significant advantage over companies
  • Remuneration and interest paid to partners is deductible up to prescribed limits
Structure & requirements
  • Minimum 2 designated partners; at least 1 must be an Indian resident
  • No upper limit on number of partners
  • LLP Agreement (Form 3) must be filed within 30 days of incorporation
  • Filed via FiLLiP on MCA21 V3; PAN and TAN issued automatically
LLP vs Pvt Ltd vs OPC
  • Choose LLP over Pvt Ltd if you do not plan to raise equity funding or issue shares
  • Choose LLP over OPC if there are 2 or more founders and you want low compliance
  • LLP cannot issue equity shares — not suitable for VC/angel-funded businesses
Solo founders
One Person Company
Introduced by the Companies Act, 2013, OPC enables a single entrepreneur to enjoy the benefits of a company — limited liability and separate legal identity — without requiring a second director or shareholder.
Why choose OPC?
  • Full limited liability protection for a solo founder — personal assets are safe
  • Separate legal identity — OPC can own property, sue and be sued in its own name
  • Only 1 director and 1 nominee required — nominee takes over if director is incapacitated
  • Easier to manage than Pvt Ltd — fewer compliance requirements, no AGM mandatory
  • Can convert to Pvt Ltd voluntarily, or mandatorily on crossing thresholds
  • Gives freelancers and solo consultants a formal corporate structure
Taxation
  • Same as Pvt Ltd: corporate tax at 22% + surcharge + cess
  • MAT at 15% of book profits if tax payable is less
  • Dividends taxable in director's hands at applicable income tax slab
  • Salary drawn by the director-owner is deductible as a business expense
Structure & requirements
  • Only Indian citizens and Indian residents are eligible to form an OPC
  • One natural person cannot be member of more than one OPC at a time
  • Nominee (Indian citizen, non-minor) must be appointed at the time of incorporation
  • Mandatory conversion to Pvt Ltd if paid-up capital exceeds ₹50L or turnover exceeds ₹2Cr
  • Filed via SPICe+ (INC-32) on MCA21 V3
OPC vs Pvt Ltd vs LLP
  • Choose OPC over Pvt Ltd if you are a solo founder and do not need co-directors
  • Choose OPC over LLP if you want a company structure rather than a partnership
  • OPC cannot raise equity funding or have more than 1 member — plan to convert if scaling

Step 1 of 5

Select your entity type

Choose the legal structure that best fits your business.

🏢
Private Limited

🤝
LLP

👤

ℹUses SPICe+ (INC-32) on MCA21 V3. Name approval takes a minimum of 5 working days. Total timeline: ~15 working days, subject to MCA approval.
Step 2 of 7

Name application

The first thing MCA processes. Name approval takes a minimum of 5 working days. Provide two options — if Option 1 is unavailable, Option 2 is considered.

⚠Name availability is checked against all registered companies, trademarks, and MCA prohibited words. If both options are rejected you must suggest new names, restarting the clock. Choose distinctive names.
Proposed company names
ℹNames must end with "Private Limited" as required for a Private Limited Company.
Your first choice. Must be distinctive and not identical/similar to any existing registered company.
Strongly recommended. Used automatically if Option 1 is unavailable — avoids delays and re-filing.
Business description & main objects
Tell us what your business does in plain language. Our AI will draft five formal main objects clauses (MOA-ready) and automatically fill the NIC code.
Write in plain English — 1 to 3 sentences. No legal language needed. Our AI handles the rest.
Step 3 of 7

Name application fee

Pay ₹2,000 to submit your name application (SPICe+ Part A) to MCA. Once paid, our CA/CS will file within 24 hours. Approval takes 5–7 working days.

Step 5 of 7

Subscribers & directors count

As required under SPICe+ Section 5 — "Number of first subscribers to MOA and directors of the company."

ℹAll fields marked * are mandatory. These figures must match the directors added in the next step. Individuals who are both subscribers and directors should be counted under individual subscribers.
Description Having valid DIN Not having valid DIN
(a) * Total number of first subscribers (non-individual + individual)
(b) * Number of non-individual first subscriber(s)
Not applicable
(c) * Number of individual first subscriber(s) cum director(s)
(d) * Total number of directors (directors who are not subscribers + subscriber-cum-directors from Row c)
⚠Row (a) must equal Row (b) + Row (c) for each column. Row (d) must be ≥ Row (c). These counts will automatically generate the director detail forms in the next step.
Step 6 of 7

Director details

Each director requires DIN verification, KYC documents, and DSC confirmation.

Step 7 of 7
