Different business ways to Register a Singapore Company in India

  • Private Limited Company

For foreign nationals and international businesses, incorporation of a private limited company is the simplest and fastest sort of entry strategy into India. A Private Limited Company may accept up to 100 percent in foreign direct investment via the automatic route, which exempts such investments from Central Government approval.

As 100 percent FDI in LLP is now permitted, incorporation of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is also a foreign national’s or foreign citizen’s entry strategy into India. An LLP is a great option for investment vehicles and professional firms because it cannot have shareholders and must be represented by partners.

  • Partnership Firm or Proprietorship Firm
