Business Structure Selection

Choose the right structure — Sole Proprietorship, LLP, Private Limited Company, or Partnership. Each has different implications for liability, taxation, and fundraising.

Intellectual Property Protection

Protect your brand with trademarks, your code with copyrights, and your innovations with patents. Early IP protection prevents costly disputes later.

Contracts and Agreements

Always use proper contracts — NDAs with employees and partners, clear employment agreements, and well-defined service agreements.

GST and Tax Compliance

Register for GST if your turnover exceeds the threshold. Maintain proper books of accounts and file returns on time to avoid penalties.
