What is company registration?

Company registration is the incorporation of a business entity with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The right structure depends on who is investing, how many owners there are and how much compliance you are willing to take on.

Which structure suits a business in Anna University?

A private limited company suits businesses that want outside investors or ESOPs. An LLP suits professional and service firms that want limited liability with lighter compliance. A one person company suits a single founder. A Section 8 company suits charitable and not-for-profit objects. A foreign company sets up through a wholly owned or joint-venture subsidiary, subject to FEMA.

What has to happen after incorporation?

The board appoints the first auditor within 30 days, and a director files the commencement-of-business declaration (INC-20A) within 180 days, before the company starts business or borrows (section 10A). The registered office must be able to receive communications from incorporation (section 12). Shops and establishments registration and professional-tax registration follow under the Tamil Nadu laws.
