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 Fort St. George?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does company registration take?
Once documents and digital signatures are ready, a complete SPICe+ filing is usually processed within a few working days. Most delays come from name objections or address-proof mismatches, which we check before filing.
Can a home address be the registered office?
Yes, with a recent utility bill in the owner's name and the owner's no-objection letter.
Which offices deal with company registration for a business in Fort St. George?
Companies with a registered office in Fort St. George come under the Registrar of Companies, Chennai. Regional Director matters, such as moving a registered office between ROC jurisdictions, go to the Regional Director, Southern Region, Chennai.
Do you also handle company registration for businesses near Fort St. George?
Yes. We also work with businesses in High Court, Park Town, George Town, Anna Salai and Vepery and elsewhere in Chennai, on the same terms and online.
Do I need to visit your office from Fort St. George?
No. We serve Fort St. George from our head office at Spencer Plaza, Anna Salai. Documents are shared securely online, filings are signed with a digital signature, and meetings are by video or at our office by appointment. Call +91 99622 60333 or email support@virtualauditor.in.
Which business structure fits my founders, funding plans and liability needs?
It depends on who will own the business and how it will be funded. A private limited company suits founders who plan to raise equity or offer ESOPs: it needs at least two directors and two shareholders, and liability is limited to the share capital. An LLP suits partners who will fund the business themselves: it cannot issue shares to investors or ESOPs. A One Person Company suits a single founder who is an Indian citizen resident in India, and can later convert into a private or public company. A sole proprietorship has no separate legal identity, so the owner’s liability is unlimited. After incorporation, a company must hold its first board meeting within 30 days (section 173), issue share certificates within two months (section 56(4)) and file the commencement declaration INC-20A within 180 days. We confirm the fit and quote the full cost, including government fees and stamp duty, before filing.
