Establishing a business in India often leads entrepreneurs to choose a Private Limited Company structure, for its benefits like limited liability protection for shareholders and a clear distinction between directors and shareholders.

You can incorporate your business as a Private Limited Company as soon as you finalize your business idea and plan. Setting up this legal structure is advisable especially if you intend to raise funds from investors, build a credible brand, protect personal assets from business risks, and scale your operations in the future.

At CAAFT, we help entrepreneurs to incorporate Private Limited Companies with ease. From name approval and documentation to compliance and post-incorporation support, we handle every step of the process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.

A Public Limited Company is a business structure where its shares are offered to the public. On meeting eligibility, a Public Limited Company can raise large funds through Public Offer by listing their shares on stock exchange. This allows them to access a wider pool of capital for growth.

If you’re planning to scale your business to new heights and require significant funding, registering a Public Limited Company can be a strategic move. The incorporation process involves several key steps, including obtaining Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs), Director Identification Numbers (DINs), name approval, drafting the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA), and filing the necessary documents with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

At CAAFT, we simplify the incorporation process for Public Limited Companies. Our team takes care of every step, from name approval and documentation to filing with the ROC, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience. Let us help you establish a strong foundation for your business’s growth.

A One Person Company (OPC) enables a single individual to establish a company with limited liability, combining the flexibility of a sole proprietorship with the advantages of a corporate structure. This unique hybrid model offers the benefits of corporate status and personal asset protection without the need for multiple shareholders.

If your business operates on a smaller scale and doesn’t require multiple shareholders, an OPC is an ideal choice. Additionally, it provides the flexibility to convert into a Private Limited Company as your business grows, making it a perfect option for entrepreneurs who want to start small but have plans to scale in the future.

At CAAFT, we help solo entrepreneurs register and set up OPCs with ease. Our team handles every step of the registration process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free incorporation of your entity.

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) combines the limited liability features of a Private Company with the flexibility of a Partnership Firm. In an LLP, no partner is held accountable for the unauthorized or illegal actions of other partners, ensuring that individual partners are protected from joint liability arising from another partner’s misconduct.

LLPs are particularly well-suited for professionals such as lawyers, accountants, consultants, and architects who wish to operate as a partnership while benefiting from limited liability protection. If you’re starting a business with one or more partners and desire a flexible structure that clearly defines roles, responsibilities, and profit-sharing, or if you prefer greater flexibility in management and decision-making compared to a company, an LLP is an excellent choice.

At CAAFT, we assist entrepreneurs in registering and setting up LLPs with ease. From drafting the LLP deed to filing the necessary documents with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), we handle every step of the process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free setup of your LLP.

A Partnership Firm is a business structure where two or more individuals come together to collaborate and generate profits. This arrangement is formalized through a Partnership Deed, which can be either registered or unregistered, offering flexibility in operations. In this structure, partners share responsibilities, profits, losses, and decision-making based on mutually agreed-upon terms. However, it’s important to note that partners are jointly and severally liable for the actions of the firm, meaning each partner is individually responsible for the firm’s debts and obligations.

At CAAFT, we offer services for the registration of partnership firms. From drafting a well-structured Partnership Deed to completing the firm’s registration, we handle every step of the process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free setup of your entity.

A Sole Proprietorship is one of the simplest and most traditional business structures in India, owned and managed entirely by a single individual, known as the proprietor. This type of business is easy to set up, with minimal compliance requirements, making it an attractive option for small-scale entrepreneurs. However, it does not allow for partners or shareholders, and the proprietor has unlimited liability, meaning personal assets are at risk in case of business debts or legal issues.

At CAAFT, we are here to help you set up your sole proprietorship entity seamlessly. Our services include registering your business with GST, MSME, and other necessary authorities, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free start to your entrepreneurial journey. Let us handle the formalities so you can focus on growing your business.

Udyam Registration is an official process introduced by the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India to formally recognize and register micro, small, and medium enterprises.

Entrepreneurs can easily apply for Udyam Registration online, and upon completion, they receive a permanent Udyam Registration Number along with an e-certificate. This self-declaration process simplifies access to a range of government benefits, including eligibility for various schemes, subsidies, and priority sector lending from banks.

At CAAFT, we make Udyam Registration simple and hassle-free.

FSSAI Registration is mandatory for any food business in India involved in storing, transporting, manufacturing, or distributing food products. Depending on the nature and scale of the business, different types of FSSAI licenses may be required. Upon successful registration, the Food Business Operator receives a 14-digit unique registration number, which must be displayed on food packages. Obtaining an FSSAI license offers numerous benefits, including legal compliance, enhanced goodwill, increased consumer trust, and opportunities for business expansion.

At CAAFT, our team simplifies the FSSAI registration process, ensuring you secure the appropriate FSSAI license hassle-free.

Unlike income tax, which is collected by the Central Government, Professional Tax is a direct levy imposed by state governments or union territories on individuals earning income through employment, profession, or trade. Employers are required to register for professional tax and ensure its deduction from employees' salaries. The deducted tax must be submitted to the designated state government office, along with a return that details the payment.

Many businesses fail to comply with these state regulations, often resulting in unexpected penalties from the government.

At CAAFT, we offer proper assistance for Professional Tax Registration, helping clients navigate the complexities of the registration process. Our team stays updated on the latest regulations set by the Corporation and the state tax department, ensuring prompt and accurate services.

The Employees' State Insurance (ESI) and Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) are two essential social security schemes in India designed to safeguard employees. ESI provides health insurance and medical benefits, offering coverage for hospitalization, sickness, and maternity, while EPF is a retirement savings scheme that ensures long-term financial security for employee’s post-retirement.

In both schemes, a predefined percentage is deducted from the employee’s salary, and an equal or proportionate amount is contributed by the employer. The employer is then responsible for depositing the total amount into the respective accounts. Non-compliance with the provisions or errors in following the procedures can lead to penalties and future inconveniences for the business.

At CAAFT, we assist with PF and ESI registration and manage EPF and ESIC compliances, including monthly payments and returns, registering new employee codes, updating changes in detail, and handling audits. Let us ensure your business stays compliant while you focus on growth and employee welfare.

Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) are the digital equivalent of physical or paper certificates, available in electronic format. They serve as a secure way to prove one’s identity online, access information or services, and sign digital documents. DSCs are available in two types—Class 2 and Class 3—with a validity period ranging from 1 to 2 years.

At CAAFT, our team simplifies the process of acquiring the DSC key, allowing you to conduct secure and authentic online verifications and filings.

An Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) is a crucial business identification number mandatory for exporting from or importing to India. No export or import activities can be conducted without obtaining an IEC, unless specifically exempted. However, for services exports, an IEC is not required unless the service provider is availing benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy.

At CAAFT, we offer IEC registration and update services, ensuring a seamless process while keeping our clients well-informed at every step.

In India, non-profit organizations can benefit significantly from two key registrations provided by the Income Tax Department: 12A and 80G.

12A registration grants non-profit organizations, an exemption from paying income tax on their earned income, enabling them to maximize funds for their charitable activities. 80G registration, on the other hand, benefits donors by allowing them to claim deductions on their taxable income for donations made, encouraging a culture of giving.

At CAAFT, our team offers a range of services for non-profit organizations, including the formation of an NGO as a trust, society, or Section 8 company, as well as obtaining 12A and 80G registrations.
