About Private Limited Company Registration
A private limited company is a separate legal entity, distinct from the people who own and run it. It is a common choice for founders who plan to raise investment, bring in co-founders as shareholders or want the credibility of an incorporated business. Incorporation is done online on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal, mainly through the SPICe+ web form.
We help you prepare the paperwork, obtain Digital Signature Certificates for the proposed directors, apply for the company name, draft the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and file the incorporation forms. The Registrar of Companies reviews the application and decides whether to approve it.

- Founders starting a business with one or more co-founders

Step-by-Step Process
Consultation and checklist
We understand your business, number of founders and funding plans, and send you a document checklist.
Digital Signature Certificates
DSCs are obtained for the proposed directors and subscribers, since the forms must be signed digitally.
Name application
The proposed name is applied for through SPICe+ Part A. The Registrar may approve it, ask for changes or reject it.
Incorporation filing
We prepare SPICe+ Part B along with the e-MoA, e-AoA and linked forms, and share them with you for review before filing.
Registrar review
The Registrar examines the application and may raise queries, which we help you respond to.
Certificate of incorporation
Once approved, the certificate of incorporation is issued, generally along with the company's PAN and TAN.
Estimated Timeline and Fees
Estimated timeline
Often around 7–15 working days after DSCs and complete documents are ready
This is indicative only. Name approval and incorporation depend on the Registrar's review, the workload at the time and whether any queries are raised.
Professional fee
Our professional fee depends on the number of directors and shareholders, whether DSCs are needed and the drafting involved. You receive a written quote before we begin.
Government fees and charges
Government fees and stamp duty are paid to the MCA and vary with the authorised capital and the state in which the registered office is located. DSC charges are also separate. These costs are shown to you separately from our fee.
* Timelines are indicative. They can change because of document verification, queries raised by the authority and government processing times, which are outside our control. Approval is decided by the relevant authority under applicable rules.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Choosing a name that closely resembles an existing company or a registered trademark
- Writing a vague or overly broad main objects clause
- Using a registered office address without the owner's written consent
- Mismatches between names or addresses on identity proofs and the forms
- Setting authorised capital without considering future share issues and stamp duty
- Overlooking compliance that starts soon after incorporation, such as the commencement of business declaration
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people do I need to start a private limited company?
Generally, at least two directors and two shareholders, and the same individuals can hold both roles. If you are the only founder, a One Person Company may be worth considering.
Is there a minimum capital requirement?
There is currently no general minimum paid-up capital requirement for a private limited company, although some regulated businesses have their own capital rules. We help you decide on a sensible capital structure.
Can I use my home address as the registered office?
A residential address can generally be used, provided you have address proof and, where you are not the owner, a no-objection letter from the owner.
Do you guarantee that my company will be registered?
No. Name approval and incorporation are decided by the Registrar of Companies. We help you prepare a complete and accurate application and respond to any queries raised.
