Overview

Who this is for

  • Solo founders, freelancers and consultants
  • Single-owner businesses wanting limited liability
  • Founders testing a business before bringing in partners

Limited liability

Business losses don't reach your personal assets.

Full control

You make every decision without a board majority.

Simpler compliance

No AGM, and a single-director OPC doesn't need board meetings.

Growth path

Convert to a Pvt Ltd when you add partners or investors.

Credibility

Operate as a registered company rather than a proprietorship.

Perpetual succession

The nominee takes over if something happens to you.

Packages

Pick how much you want handled

Fees depend on your state's stamp duty and authorised capital, so we quote each package for your state.

We are very happy with the services…

We are very happy with the services provided by AARAMBH Agency. They helped us register our Private Limited Company within a short time and guided us at every step. Their charges are also very reasonable compared to other agencies. As we were new to this, they explained everything clearly and supported us throughout the process. Even after registration, they are still in touch with us and guiding us whenever needed. We really appreciate their support, professionalism, and friendly approach. Highly recommended for anyone planning to start a company 😊🤝
