GET READY, ONE STEP AT A TIME
We’ll share an applicant-specific checklist after a short discussion. The exact records depend on your circumstances.
Before your first conversation
Organise your business facts and get a checklist to discuss with our team.
First, describe your business and the result you need. Next, organise the relevant facts without sharing private documents here. Finally, review your checklist with the team and agree the written scope before work starts.

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
Document the proposed activity, ownership and distinction from a foreign-parent office.
Organise sector, ownership, certification and signatory preparation gaps.
Coordinate the agreed SPICe+ inputs and linked document preparation.
Provide a handover assigning outstanding investment, banking and filing tasks.
Preparation depends on complete parent records, approved ownership decisions, certification and signatory participation. Permission where required, MCA review and bank processing are separate dependencies. Agree a formation and funding schedule after route assessment rather than treating a standard-company estimate as a complete subsidiary launch date.
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. This route creates an Indian-incorporated company. The overseas ownership is assessed under the foreign-investment framework; it is a different case from registration of the foreign parent itself.

No universal answer applies. Review the activity, permitted investment, sector conditions and the actual investor and ownership chain. The result determines which approval and transaction steps are needed.

Beneficial ownership and control can affect the entry-route assessment, including current land-border investment rules. Provide the full chain and any control rights rather than only the immediate shareholder name.

The incorporation route contains conditional requirements for overseas subscribers. Confirm the current certification, translation, signature and attachment instructions for the applicant; do not assume every overseas country uses one authentication process.

Treat company incorporation and the investment transaction as separate checklists. The instrument, payment, issue and ownership facts determine applicable bank and reporting work; identify what is included and who owns it before funding.

Share the parent jurisdiction, ownership chart, Indian activity, proposed directors, state and office, capital plan and intended investment instrument. These inputs make it possible to scope documents and distinguish incorporation from additional permissions and ongoing work.

| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Subsidiary or parent office? | Choose which entity should sign contracts, employ the team and carry the Indian operation. | A new Indian company and an office of the overseas parent require different registration and permission analysis. |
| Activity and investment route | Describe the business and proposed foreign ownership precisely. | Confirm sector conditions and the investor-specific entry route. Incorporation does not override a foreign-investment restriction. |
| Ownership and control | Provide the full parent and beneficial-ownership chain, including indirect interests. | Current investment screening considers the real ownership and control facts; a single parent name is not enough. |
| Directors and office | Identify eligible directors, signatories and a genuine Indian registered-office arrangement. | Verify current appointment, residency and certification requirements for the actual people and documents. |
| Funding and reporting | Agree the proposed investment instrument and when funds and shares will move. | Assign bank coordination, valuation and applicable reporting before the transaction rather than after a deadline is missed. |
