Setting Up in India
A foreign company entering India has to choose a structure before it does anything else, and the choice decides the tax rate, the compliance load and how easily profits can go home. We advise on the structure, incorporate the entity, complete the RBI reporting and carry the first year of compliance so nothing is missed while the team is still being built.

Insights
Worth reading first
Your brand is not yours until you file — and 'we've used it for years' is a weak defence
Prior use counts for something in Indian trademark law, but proving it is expensive and uncertain. A filing costs a fraction of the dispute it prevents.

Who actually needs GST registration — and who is better off registering anyway
The turnover threshold is only one of several triggers. Plenty of businesses below it are still legally required to register, and some above it choose to register early for reasons that have nothing to do with the law.

The registrations a new business actually needs in month one — and the ones that can wait
Every consultant will sell you a bundle. Most of it is premature. Here is the short list that genuinely matters at the start, and what triggers the rest.

Why clients stay
The boring things, done reliably.
Compliance is not glamorous work. It is deadlines met, numbers that tie, and someone picking up when you call. That is what we optimise for.

Priced before we start
Every service on this site carries its fee. You get a written scope and a number before any work begins, and the invoice matches it.
Two people on every filing
Nothing goes to a department on one pair of eyes. A second professional reviews the return before it is submitted.
A person, not a ticket
You get a named associate who knows your file, reachable on WhatsApp, not a queue and a different voice every call.
We watch the calendar
Once you are on our books we track your due dates and reach out before the deadline, not after the late fee.
