Selecting a suitable business structure:

The first step towards company formation in India is to select a right business structure.  It is important to choose the business structure carefully while registering your company. Each business structure has different set of compliance that need to be met with. For example, a Sole Proprietorship Firm has to file an income tax return. However, a Private Limited Company has to file an income tax return as well as annual returns with the Registrar of Companies. A company’s books of accounts are to be mandatory audited every year.

Types of Business structures in India:

Private Limited Company:

A Private Limited Company is a company which is privately held for small businesses. The liability of the members of a Private Limited Company is limited to the amount of shares respectively held by them.Shares of Private Limited Company cannot be publicly traded.

Public Limited Companies are companies whose shares are traded in stock market or issues fixed deposits. The Public limited company in India is a voluntary association of members which has a separate legal existence and the liability of whose members is limited.

One Person Company:

An OPC is the best way to start a company if there exists only one promoter or owner. It enables a sole-proprietor to carry on his work and still be part of the corporate framework.

Limited Liability partnership

Limited Liability Partnership is a form of separate legal business entity that gives the benefits of limited liability but allows its members the flexibility of organizing their internal structure as a traditional partnership.
