    Tetra Consultants will assist you with India company incorporation using the methodology below. This is to ensure you are fully aware of the different requirements and regulations for successful company formation in India. In some cases, the company may be required to apply for licenses before it can legally start operations in the country.

    Simply put, we can break down a new company formation in India engagement into three different phases:

    2. Incorporation
    3. Bank account opening
    4. Staying compliant

    1. Planning & strategy

    • For India company incorporation, our team of experts will start with recommending the most suitable business entity depending on your business goals and activities. There are many different types of company registration in India, but private limited company registration is most popular with our foreign clients since it offers ease of incorporation and liability protection.
    • Once we agree on the type of company, Tetra Consultants will advise on the optimum paid-up share capital, regulatory requirements, and whether there is a need for licenses for the intended business activity.
    • Once you are clear on how to open a business in India, Tetra Consultants will proceed to reserve your preferred company name with the Registrar of Companies in India. This will be done through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal.
    • Prior to India company incorporation, we will provide you with a company secretary, a local registered address, and a local nominee resident director.
    • Our legal team will draft a nominee director agreement to be signed by all parties, ensuring this nominee is passive and does not have any decision-making power in the company. At the same time, our team will provide the due diligence documents of our nominee, including his passport and proof of address.
