Easier and Faster Business Registration Powered by a Reliable Consultant
A 6-Step Company Registration Process in India
Step 1: Choose a Business Structure/Company Type
Common types of companies in India are OPC, Pvt. Ltd., LLP, Section 8, Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Nidhi and more. Find one that suits your goals.
Step 2: Name Selection and Availability Check
Choose a unique company name that follows all naming guidelines stated by the governing authorities. The name should reflect its objectives and last longer even if your business expands. Check your company’s name availability on the MCA portal.
Step 3: Director Identification Number (DIN)
The SPICe+ Form on the MCA portal helps a maximum of three directors obtain a DIN. More directors can be added after an incorporation and they must fill the Form DIR-3 to get a DIN.
Step 4: Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
All subscribers of the MoA and AoA and the directors should have a DSC. Class 3 DSC will prove more beneficial as it consists of the highest security.
Step 5: Incorporation of a Company
File the SPICe+ form with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) online through the MCA portal. Here, fill in the details about the company, directors, shareholders and proposed MoA and AoA.
You might also need to file for a GST, Shop and Establishment License, a bank account and other licenses according to the state law.
Step 6: Certificate of Incorporation (COI)
MCA will issue your company a Certificate of Incorporation to prove your company's legal existence. Besides that, it will also issue CIN, PAN and TAN numbers to your company (based on the type of the company).
