Business Advisory · Finance & Accounts
Company registration in India, done properly the first time.
Private Limited, LLP, OPC, partnership or proprietorship. We handle incorporation along with PAN, TAN, GST, MSME and DPIIT registration, and then the same team stays with you for GST, bookkeeping, payroll and tax as the business grows.
Where founders slip
Incorporation is the easy part.
The Certificate of Incorporation itself is a portal task these days. The harder work sits around it. Choosing the right entity for the way you plan to raise money, tying the shareholding to the founder agreement, keeping compliance clean from the very first month, and handing off cleanly to bookkeeping and tax. That is where new founders usually lose weeks, and sometimes lose money.
We take responsibility for the incorporation, but we also stay after it. The same team that registers the company handles GST, books, payroll and returns through the year.

Frequently asked
Company registration — the questions we get.
What founders ask before engaging Cosmoura for company registration in India.
Which company structure is right for my business?
For most funded startups: Private Limited. For consultancy or family-owned businesses without external investment: LLP. For solo founders wanting limited liability: One Person Company (OPC). For very early testing: Sole Proprietorship. We recommend based on your funding, ownership and compliance appetite, not a template.
How long does company registration take in India?
Private Limited and LLP incorporations typically complete in 10-15 working days once all documents are in order. OPC takes similar. Proprietorship is faster (2-5 working days) because it does not require incorporation with MCA.
What documents are needed for Private Limited registration?
Directors: PAN, Aadhaar, latest passport-size photograph, proof of address (utility bill), passport (if any). Registered office: rent agreement or property tax receipt + NOC from owner + electricity bill. We handle DIN, DSC, name reservation, MOA, AOA and MCA filings.
Do you handle GST, PAN, TAN and MSME registrations too?
Yes. Company registration engagements at Cosmoura include PAN, TAN, GST registration, MSME/Udyam and DPIIT registration where applicable. Post-registration, we set up bookkeeping, GST filings and tax compliance so nothing falls through.
Do I need a Gurugram address to register a company there?
No. A company can be registered anywhere in India as long as there is a valid registered office address in that jurisdiction — owned, rented or a co-working arrangement with a proper NOC. We can guide on the trade-offs of registering in Gurgaon vs. other jurisdictions.
What is the difference between Cosmoura and a portal like IndiaFilings?
Portals give you the incorporation certificate. Cosmoura gives you the incorporation plus a coordinated team for GST, bookkeeping, payroll, income tax and financial planning as your business grows. One point of contact, not five.
