BUSINESS SETUP · INDIA
Partnership starts with an agreement to carry on business and share profits, not simply with a certificate. Partners need clear terms, an appropriate deed and a separate assessment of registration with the state Registrar of Firms. Signing or notarising a deed is not the same event as the firm's entry in that register.
CLEAR FEES. CLEAR DELIVERABLES.
Professional work, government charges and optional services. All set out in writing before we begin.

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
Identify missing business and authority decisions.
Coordinate the agreed document and state-specific requirements.
Check the firm, place, joining-date and signatory particulars.
Track the agreed application and provide the available acknowledgement or register evidence.
Deed preparation depends first on partner agreement. Registration depends on the relevant state authority and document scrutiny. A submitted application and a recorded Register of Firms entry are different stages.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.
ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamNo. Sections 58 and 59 describe an application to the Registrar and entry in the Register of Firms. Deed execution or notarisation is not that register entry.

The statutory statement covers the firm name, places of business, partners' names and permanent addresses, joining dates and firm duration. The prescribed state form and supporting evidence must also be checked.
References: Delhi government: Partnership Act, relevant provisions
Section 69 restricts specified suits to enforce contractual rights by an unregistered firm or its partners, subject to its conditions and exceptions. Do not treat registration as an irrelevant formality or use this summary as litigation advice.

No. Ordinary partnership can expose partners personally to firm obligations. Compare the liability and governance position with an LLP before choosing the structure.

No single state workflow is assumed. For example, Delhi's official firms system describes registration and later-change work under the Revenue Department; confirm the authority and requirements for your own state.

Only when expressly scoped. Provide the earlier deed, register evidence and chronology so a new registration is not confused with partner, address or dissolution work.

| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Partner agreement | Agree contributions, profit and loss sharing, work responsibilities and authority. | Resolve disagreements before copying them into a standard deed. |
| Liability | Consider the consequences of one partner acting for the firm. | An ordinary partnership does not give the same liability separation as an LLP; section 25 addresses joint and several liability. |
| State registration | Identify the relevant Registrar of Firms and current local process. | Forms, supporting evidence, stamp duty and procedure require a state-specific check. |
| Future events | Plan admission, retirement, disputes, death and business closure. | The initial deed should not leave predictable changes without an agreed decision process. |
