Incorporated properly the first time

Company formation, registrations and the first year of filings — structured for where the business is actually going.

Cheap to do, easy to get subtly wrong

Incorporation is cheap and easy to get subtly wrong. The structure that suits a two-person consultancy is a poor fit for a company that will raise money, and changing it later is expensive and slow.

We ask what the business is likely to become before filing anything: whether investment is planned, whether there will be employees, whether founders are in different countries. Then we set it up so the first year of obligations is handled rather than discovered.

Who this is for

If one of these sounds like your situation, it is worth a conversation.

Starting something new

A first company, where the paperwork should not be the hard part.

Formalising an existing business

Trading already, now needing a structure that can invoice and hire properly.

An Indian entity for a foreign parent

Subsidiary setup, FEMA considerations and the reporting that follows.

How we work

Boring, in the way you want your accountant to be boring.

Deadlines tracked, not remembered

Every filing date for your entity is in a calendar we own. You get reminded well before it matters.

Books closed monthly

Reconciled within ten working days, so the numbers you make decisions on are this month's rather than last quarter's.

A named person who answers

Not a ticket queue. You should know who does your work and be able to ring them.

Plain answers on tax

What is allowed, what is aggressive, and where the line is. We will not put you somewhere we would not stand ourselves.

  • Your records handed over in full and without argument if you leave
How we take over

How we take over

Moving adviser is the part people dread. It takes about a month.

Review

We look at the current position, filings, and anything outstanding. You get a written summary of what we found, including bad news.

Transition

Records, access and authorisations moved across, with your previous adviser handled professionally. Nothing lapses in between.

First close

The first monthly close under our process, and the first set of accounts you can actually use to make a decision.

Steady state

Monthly management accounts, filings ahead of deadline, and a quarterly conversation about what the numbers are telling you.

Common questions

Private limited if you intend to raise investment or issue ESOP; LLP where you do not and want lower compliance. Changing later is expensive, so it is worth ten minutes now.

Usually two to three weeks end to end, including name approval and registrations. Bank account opening is often the slowest part and we prepare the documentation so it goes through once.

A filing calendar, basic bookkeeping, and founder agreements with vesting. Those three prevent most of what diligence later finds.
