Indian Business Structure Selection
The choice of legal structure (Proprietorship / Partnership / LLP / OPC / Pvt Ltd / Public Ltd / Section 8) drives liability, tax, fundraising flexibility, and compliance burden. The right structure depends on funding plans, ESOP intent, sector, partner count, and growth horizon.
Each structure has distinct: liability (limited vs unlimited); tax regime (slab-based vs flat 22%/30%); fundraising flexibility (equity, ESOP, FDI); compliance burden (audit, statutory filings, board governance); and exit flexibility. Mid-stage migrations between structures involve tax-neutrality conditions under Section 47 of the Income Tax Act.
