Nearby areas we also serve include Bommasandra, Chandapura, Electronic City and Begur. We serve clients in Jigani from our Bengaluru office at Mahalakshmi Chambers, MG Road. Hardware and manufacturing start-ups here need extra work on inventory, capital commitments and factory licences.

What is start-up due diligence?
Due diligence is the investigation an investor or buyer carries out before committing money. A founder-commissioned review before a round finds the same issues earlier, while they can still be fixed cheaply.
Why FEMA matters in start-up deals
Every earlier foreign investment needed a fair-value pricing certificate and an FC-GPR within 30 days; transfers needed FC-TRS. Gaps are common and are regularised with late-submission fees or compounding before the new investor's money comes in. We also check downstream investment and any investor from a land-border country.
What else do investors ask for?
Ownership of intellectual property (assignments from founders and employees), key contracts and change-of-control clauses, labour and payroll compliance, and handling of personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. DPIIT recognition and eligibility for the start-up profit deduction are also checked.
