What is a Private Limited Company & is it right for you?
The essentials in under a minute — so you can pick your structure with confidence, not confusion.
Check my requirement01
What a Private Limited Company really is
It's a company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 with its own legal identity — separate from the people who own it. It can own property, sign contracts, sue and be sued in its own name, and it limits the owners' liability to the amount they invested.
02
Who it suits best
Founders who plan to raise angel, seed or VC funding. Teams with two or more co-founders who want clear shareholding. Businesses signing corporate clients, who often prefer a registered company. Anyone who wants to keep personal assets separate from business risk.
03
How long it takes
With correct documents, incorporation usually completes within about 7–15 working days — covering DSC, name approval through RUN or SPICe+ Part A, and the SPICe+ Part B filing. It can extend if the name is objected to or the Registrar raises a query.
04
What it costs
Government fees and stamp duty vary by state and by authorised capital. Professional fees at one-startup start from ₹6,999 for a standard two-director company. DSC charges and state stamp duty are billed at actuals and always told to you before you pay.

Why It Matters
Why registering a company properly is worth doing right?
It gives your business a legal identity, limits your personal risk, makes you fundable, and lets you hire, contract and scale without awkward questions.
A Certificate of Incorporation is more than a PDF. Done right, it lets you:
Done wrong — a rejected name, a badly drafted objects clause, or a shareholding split you regret in year two — and you spend months and money undoing it. That is exactly why we review before filing.
Documents Required
What you'll need to apply
Exact documents depend on your directors and registered office — we send a custom checklist for your case.

Declaration of commencement of business, filed within 180 days of incorporation.
ADT-1
Appointment of your first statutory auditor.
AOC-4 & MGT-7

Company Registration in 2026
What's changed in 2026 — and why it's easier to get wrong
Incorporation is faster and more integrated than ever, but the compliance net around it has tightened.
Get it reviewedSPICe+ does more in one form
Name reservation, incorporation, PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC and bank account now flow through a single integrated application.
Director KYC is strictly enforced
A missed DIR-3 KYC deactivates the DIN and blocks every other filing until it is restored with a fee.
Registered office proof is scrutinised
Addresses are now verified more actively. A weak NOC or a stale utility bill is a common reason for a query.
Beneficial ownership disclosure
Companies must maintain and report significant beneficial ownership properly — an area many new founders overlook.

FAQs
Company Registration — questions, answered
Clear answers to what founders and small businesses ask before applying.
Still unsure? Ask usIt is a company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 with a separate legal identity from its owners. Shareholders' liability is limited to the amount they have invested, and the company can own assets and sign contracts in its own name.
A minimum of two directors and two shareholders. The same two people can hold both roles. At least one director must be resident in India.
No commercial office is required. A residential address can be used as the registered office, provided you have a recent utility bill and a no-objection certificate from the owner.
No. one-startup is a private professional-services firm. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by the MCA or any government department. You can file directly on the MCA portal yourself; we are the paid expert help if you would rather not do it alone.
Usually about 7 to 15 working days with correct documents, covering DSC, name approval and the SPICe+ filing. It takes longer if the name is objected to or the Registrar raises a query.
There is no minimum paid-up capital requirement. Many companies are incorporated with a nominal authorised capital of ₹1 lakh, which keeps stamp duty low.
Yes, provided at least one director is a resident of India. Additional documentation such as notarised and apostilled proofs is usually required.
A company suits founders who plan to raise equity funding and issue ESOPs. An LLP has lighter annual compliance and suits professional or service firms not looking to raise capital.
Yes. Annual ROC filings and income tax returns are required even for a dormant company with zero revenue. Missing them attracts daily penalties.
Yes, through a shareholders' resolution and a filing with the Registrar. It is possible but avoidable — which is why we help you get the name right at the start.
A Digital Signature Certificate is a secure electronic signature. Every proposed director needs one to sign incorporation forms on the MCA portal.
You receive the objection reason and can resubmit with a fresh option. This is why we ask for multiple name choices and check availability and trademark conflicts before filing.
