Setup Assistance every registration, licence, and approval your new business needs.

Comprehensive business setup assistance in Mumbai and across India — entity selection, company incorporation, GST, Udyam, Shop and Establishment, IEC, FSSAI, professional tax, bank account support, and post-incorporation compliance calendar for startups, SMEs, and foreign companies entering India.

Starting a business in India involves far more than just incorporating a company. Before the first invoice is raised, a new business typically needs entity incorporation, GST registration, PAN and TAN, professional tax, Shop and Establishment registration, Udyam/MSME, import-export code, FSSAI for food businesses, and a current bank account. For regulated sectors, additional licences — drug licence, liquor licence, or factory licence — may also be required.

The order and timing of these registrations matter. GST cannot be done without a bank account and address proof. The bank account often requires Shop and Establishment registration. Some licences require prior GST registration. Our setup assistance manages this sequence efficiently — completing registrations in the correct order and ensuring the business is legally ready before the first transaction.

Our business setup assistance covers entity selection advisory, company or LLP incorporation, GST and professional tax, PAN and TAN, Shop and Establishment, Udyam/MSME, IEC, FSSAI, bank account documentation support, and a complete first-year compliance calendar with all due dates.
