Registrations
Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
A Digital Signature Certificate is like your digital identity card. Just like a physical signature proves who you are, DSCs help verify your identity online and allow you to digitally sign documents in a secure and legally accepted way.
Firm Registration
Registering a partnership firm in India is optional—it’s totally up to the partners. However, getting registered gives your firm legal recognition and added benefits, especially if you plan to expand or deal with government departments.
Incorporation of a Company
When you incorporate a company, you’re giving it a legal identity of its own—separate from the people who run it. Once registered, the company can operate, own property, and enter into contracts in its own name.
GST Registration
GST registration is the first step to doing business legally under the Goods and Services Tax system. Once registered, you’ll get a unique GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) that allows you to collect tax and claim input credit.
Shop & Establishment License
If you’re running a shop, office, or any commercial establishment and have employees, you need to register under the Shop and Establishment Act. This license helps regulate working hours, leave policies, and employee rights.
Trademark / Copyright / Patent / Design
A trademark protects your brand name, logo, or even the packaging.
Copyright gives you rights over creative works like books, music, or software.
A patent protects your invention so others can’t use or copy it.
Design registration covers the look and feel of a product.
All of these help you safeguard your intellectual property and stand out in the market.
MSME Registration
MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) registration helps small businesses get access to various government schemes, loans at lower interest rates, and easier approvals. It’s a great way to grow your business with official support.
Import Export Code (IEC)
Planning to start a business in importing or exporting goods? You’ll need an IEC, a 10-digit code issued by the government that allows you to trade across international borders legally.
NGO, Trust & Society Registration
Whether you want to start a Trust, Society, or a Non-Profit Company, all are recognized forms of NGOs. Each has a slightly different registration and management process, but they all exist to serve social causes without the aim of profit.
Mining License
To start mining operations in India, you’ll need a proper license. There are mainly two types—Mining Lease and Composite License. These are granted through an online auction system as per the rules set by the government.
EPF & ESI Registration
EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund) helps employees save for retirement through joint contributions from both employer and employee.
ESI (Employees’ State Insurance) covers employees’ medical needs and health insurance.
Both are mandatory for companies with a certain number of employees and ensure social security for the workforce.
Startup India Registration
Startup India is a government-backed program that supports new businesses. By registering under this initiative, startups get access to tax benefits, funding opportunities, faster patent filing, and more. It’s ideal for entrepreneurs looking to scale big.
