Starting a business is exciting—but it can also be overwhelming when it comes to legal formalities and registrations. From choosing the right business structure to getting your licenses and staying compliant, there’s a lot to cover.
If you’re unsure where to begin, this quick guide is for you.
✅ Step 1: Choose the Right Business Structure
Your business structure affects taxation, liability, and growth potential. Here are your options:
Sole Proprietorship – Easy to start but no limited liability.
LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) – Great for partnerships with legal protection.
Private Limited Company – Best for startups seeking funding or rapid growth.
One Person Company (OPC) – A hybrid option for solo founders with legal protection.
✅ Step 2: Get the Necessary Registrations
Based on your business type and activity, you may need:
GST Registration (if turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or you sell online)
MSME/Udyam Registration for benefits & subsidies
FSSAI License (for food businesses)
Shop & Establishment License
Import Export Code (IEC) if you plan to trade internationally
✅ Step 3: Draft Essential Legal Documents
Protect your business from future disputes by preparing:
Founders Agreement (if you have co-founders)
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy (for websites)
Vendor/Client Contracts
✅ Step 4: Stay on Top of Compliance
New businesses often miss mandatory filings and penalties pile up fast. You must:
File ROC returns (for Pvt Ltd/LLP)
Submit GST returns monthly or quarterly
Maintain payroll compliance (PF, ESI, TDS)
Renew licenses on time
