Overview
What is Business Registration in India?
Business registration is the legal process of establishing your business entity with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) under the Companies Act, 2013. It provides your business with a distinct legal identity, protects personal assets through limited liability, and opens doors to government schemes, bank loans, and investor funding.
In India, you can choose from several business structures: Sole Proprietorship, Partnership Firm, One Person Company (OPC), Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), Private Limited Company, and Public Limited Company. Each structure has different compliance requirements, liability protection levels, and tax implications.
At VakilExpert, our team of experienced CAs and CS professionals makes the entire registration process seamless. We guide you from choosing the right structure to obtaining your incorporation certificate, PAN, TAN, and GST registration.
