Firm, company or PVT — and the PAN and VAT steps that follow.
Choosing the right structure — sole firm, partnership or private limited — shapes your tax, your liability and how easily you can grow. It is worth a short conversation before you register.
Once registered, you will usually need a PAN, and VAT if you cross the threshold or want to issue tax invoices. Companies also have yearly OCR filings to keep up.
Getting these steps right at the start avoids re-work later. We handle the whole flow, from name reservation to your first compliant invoice.
