- How to easily setup your business in India
Starting a business can be both exhilarating and intimidating. From ideating to launching, there are several critical steps that need to be taken, particularly in India, where navigating the complexities of the legal, taxation, and regulatory landscape can be challenging. But with the right guidance and support, starting a business in India can be a smooth process. In this blog, we'll provide an overview of the steps involved in starting a business in India and why A2Z Consulting is the go-to business management firm for all your business needs.
Decide on the type of business entity
The first step in setting up a business in India is deciding on the type of business entity that best suits your business goals. There are several types of business entities available, including sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability partnership (LLP), private limited company, and public limited company. Each type of entity has its advantages and disadvantages, and it's essential to choose the right entity based on the nature and size of your business.
Obtain a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
In India, several business registrations and compliances are required to be submitted online. To do so, a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is necessary. A DSC is a secure digital key that is issued by a certifying authority and is used to sign electronic documents. A2Z Consulting can assist you in obtaining a DSC quickly and easily.
Obtain a Director Identification Number (DIN)
For incorporation of a private limited company, at least two directors are required, and each director must have a unique Director Identification Number (DIN). A DIN is a unique identification number that is allotted to each director of a company. A2Z Consulting can assist you in obtaining a DIN for each director of your company.
Reserve a name for your company
Choosing a unique name for your company is essential, as it represents your brand and communicates your business offerings to potential customers. In India, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has an online portal where you can check the availability of a proposed name and reserve it for your company. A2Z Consulting can help you choose a suitable name for your company and check its availability on the MCA portal.
Draft and file the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA)
The MOA and AOA are legal documents that define the scope of your company's activities and govern its internal affairs. These documents must be drafted and filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) in the state where your company will be registered. A2Z Consulting can assist you in drafting these documents and filing them with the ROC.
Obtain a Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN)
A PAN is a ten-digit alphanumeric number that is issued by the Income Tax Department of India. It is necessary for all tax-related transactions in India. A TAN is a ten-digit alphanumeric number that is issued by the Income Tax Department of India to entities that are required to deduct or collect tax on behalf of the government. A2Z Consulting can assist you in obtaining a PAN and TAN for your company.
Register for Goods and Services Tax (GST)
GST is a value-added tax that is levied on the sale of goods and services in India. Every business with a turnover of more than Rs. 20 lakhs (Rs. 10 lakhs for Northeastern states) must register for GST. A2Z Consulting can assist you in registering for GST and filing GST returns.
