Know how to register your “Start-Ups” in India




On January 16, 2016, the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi announced a new initiative called Start-UpIndia initiative, fostering the promotion of entrepreneurship by creating a system that is conducive for start-ups.
This initiative will provide budding entrepreneurs and experienced businessmen an easier access to funding and incubators by offering them an easy-to-use platform that can be downloaded on to any smartphone device.
However, if you are an Indian citizen, then you allowed to register about six to seven types of business entities in India, specifically, Private Limited Company (limited by shares), Public Limited Company (limited by shares), Public Company (with unlimited liabilities), Company limited by guarantee, Partnership firm, Sole Proprietorship firm and co-operatives as producer company. Non-Indians (foreigners) are allowed to register on a Private limited company (with 100% equities), Private limited company (a joint venture with Indians) and Public limited company (with a minimum of one shareholder and director of Indian citizen). You have to decide which business entity fulfills business expectations. The private limited company is preferred by almost all foreigners (individuals or entrepreneurs), because it has minimal agreement constraints, and it is one of the best choices if you do not have any intentions to raise public funds.


ROC staff will look for the the proposed names for availability or any resemblance with other company names in India. If they find it difficult to approve names that might create confusion in the minds of the public and harm the interest of the promoters, then you will be given up to two opportunities for re-submit the new panel of company names against the fee paid in the first instance for name availability after the original application is filled. Just in two days the name will be allotted for a company. If the name is not adopted within the given 60 days after it is allowed, you may apply for an extension for retention of such name for further period of 30 days on payment of 50% of the fees prescribed for the application at the initial stage. The name allowed shall lapse after the expiry of sixty or ninety days, as the case may be, from the date it is allowed first. If you agree to the allotted name, the “name allotment certificate” will be issued to you. This is called pre-registration process.

Further, after the pre- registration process or the “name allotment certificate” is obtained from the ROC, you have to prepare the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) for the proposed company. The format and description are almost similar to other countries of the world. MOA mainly covers the primary, auxiliary and other business activities of the proposed firm. Moreover, AOA gives the guidelines for the standard operations and conduct of the proposed company along with the certified share capital, first directors or founding directors, the names and addresses of first directors and so on.
