Let's Talk

CA & Advisory Services

The work that does not fit neatly into a monthly return: choosing a structure, setting up the entity, getting a certificate a bank needs by Friday, or having a finance function without hiring a CFO. This is where we sit alongside the business rather than behind it.

Getting the Structure Right Before It Costs You

The structure you choose at the start quietly determines your compliance cost, your tax position and your ability to raise money later. Changing it afterwards is possible but rarely free, so this is one of the few decisions genuinely worth slowing down for.

A private limited company suits businesses that intend to raise capital, issue ESOPs or bring in shareholders. An LLP carries a lighter load and lower ongoing cost for a profitable services business with no outside investors. A proprietorship is the cheapest to run and the right answer more often than founders expect.

We will tell you which one fits where the business is actually going — including when the honest answer is that you do not need a company at all yet.

What This Covers

Company & LLP Formation

Name reservation, SPICe+ incorporation, MOA and AOA drafting, DIN and DSC, plus the PAN, TAN and bank account that come bundled with it.

Business Structuring Advice

An honest comparison of company, LLP, partnership and proprietorship against your actual plans, with the ongoing cost of each stated plainly.

Virtual CFO

Monthly financial oversight, cash flow planning, budgeting and board reporting — a finance function without a full-time hire.

Certifications & Attestation

Net worth certificates, turnover certificates, Form 15CB, and the CA certifications banks, tenders and visa applications ask for.

Projections & Loan Documentation

Financial projections, CMA data and project reports prepared to the standard lenders expect rather than to a generic template.

Registrations

MSME/Udyam, Import Export Code, Shops & Establishment, PF and ESI, Professional Tax and other registrations as your operations require.

Who This Is For

This is usually the right starting point if:

  • You are starting up and not sure which structure to register — or whether to register yet at all.
  • A bank, tender or visa application needs a certificate from a Chartered Accountant.
  • You are approaching a lender and need projections and CMA data that will survive scrutiny.
  • The business has outgrown the founder doing the finances but cannot justify a full-time CFO.
  • You are bringing in a co-founder or investor and the cap table needs to be set up properly now rather than fixed later.

How We Start

1
Understand the plan

Where the business is going matters more than where it is today. Funding intentions, headcount and how you will take money out all change the right answer.

2
Recommend, with costs attached

You get a recommendation with the ongoing compliance cost of each option stated, not just the setup fee. The cheap structure to register is not always the cheap one to keep.

3
Execute

We handle the filings, registrations and documentation end to end, and tell you what we need from you in one list rather than in a trickle.

4
Hand over a calendar

You finish with a clear picture of what is now due, and when. The obligations start on day one, and you should not discover them in month nine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically one to two weeks once every document is in hand, with name approval being the most common source of delay. Rejections usually trace back to a proposed name too close to an existing mark. We check availability properly before filing rather than trying and hoping.
If you intend to raise outside investment or issue ESOPs, a company is effectively the only workable answer. If you are a profitable services business with no external investors, an LLP carries meaningfully less compliance and cost. The honest test is whether you will actually raise money, not whether you might one day.
Monthly financial review, cash flow forecasting, budgeting, board and investor reporting, and being available for the decisions in between. It suits businesses where the founder is currently the finance function and that is starting to be the constraint.
Yes. Poorly drafted MOAs, incorrect shareholding and missed post-incorporation filings are common, especially from low-cost online registration services. We will assess it, tell you what genuinely needs fixing, and leave alone what does not.
