📝 Enterprise Registration Process in India

Registering an enterprise, especially a company like a Private Limited Company or LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) in India, involves a systematic sequence of steps. Here’s a detailed explanation of each:

🏗️ 1. Deciding your business structure

The first step is to determine the type of business entity (e.g., sole proprietorship, partnership, LLP, private limited company, etc.).

This choice affects:

• The registration procedure

• Tax treatment

• Legal liabilities

🔐 2. Obtaining a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

A DSC is mandatory for signing electronic documents during online company registration.

• Directors or partners must obtain their own DSC from authorized agencies.

🆔 3. File for Name Approval

After obtaining the DSC, the next step is to propose a unique company name and get it approved via the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service on the MCA portal.

• The name must not conflict with existing registered names or trademarks.

🧾 4. File for Incorporation

Once the name is approved, the incorporation forms (like SPICe+) are submitted along with:

• MOA (Memorandum of Association)

• AOA (Articles of Association)

• ID/address proofs, etc.

After successful verification, the Certificate of Incorporation (CoI) is issued.
