Small registrations, disproportionate consequences
Incorporation makes a business exist. Licences make it able to trade. Which ones you need depends on your sector, your premises, your headcount and your turnover — and the penalty for operating without one ranges from a fine to closure of the premises.
We identify what applies to your business, obtain each registration, and put the renewal dates on the same compliance calendar as your tax filings, so that a lapsed trade licence doesn't surface during an inspection.
This page is for you if
- You've just incorporated and don't know which licences apply
- You're opening a restaurant, café, cloud kitchen or food business
- You want to protect a brand name or logo with a trademark
- You've hired your first employees and need to register accordingly
- A registration has lapsed and needs renewing or restoring
What we handle, end to end
Any business that manufactures, stores, transports, distributes or sells food requires FSSAI registration or licence, with the category determined by turnover and scale of operation.
We establish which category applies, prepare the documentation, file the application and handle renewals, modifications and the annual return where applicable. Getting the category right at the outset avoids a change of licence later.
MSME registration under Udyam is straightforward and unlocks a range of benefits — priority sector lending, protection under the delayed payment provisions, and eligibility for various government schemes and subsidies.
We register your enterprise under the correct classification and advise on which benefits are actually worth pursuing for a business of your size and sector.
A business name, logo or tagline is only protected once it is registered. Trading under an unregistered mark leaves you exposed to a later applicant.
We conduct the search, identify the right class or classes, prepare and file the application and respond to examination reports and objections. The search matters most — filing into a conflict wastes both the fee and the years of waiting.
Issued by the local municipal authority, a trade licence permits a business to operate from a specific premises within its jurisdiction. Required for most commercial operations and renewed annually.
We handle the application, the documentation the municipality requires and the annual renewal.
Applicable to most commercial premises employing staff, this registration is governed at state level and covers working hours, conditions and employment records.
We register your premises and advise on the record-keeping obligations that come with it.
A state levy applying both to the business as an employer and to individual professionals. Registration, periodic returns and payment obligations vary by state.
We handle enrolment, registration and the ongoing filings alongside your other statutory returns.
A DSC is required for MCA filings, income tax and GST filings, trademark applications and e-tendering. Certificates expire, and an expired one stops a filing at the worst moment.
We obtain, renew and register DSCs, and handle token management and troubleshooting.
PAN is required for the entity itself; TAN is required by anyone who deducts tax at source.
We handle applications, corrections, surrenders and the linking obligations that go with them.
Required for any business importing or exporting. We obtain and update the IEC — and where international trade is a significant part of your business, our Exim practice covers the wider DGFT and FEMA framework that goes with it.
Registrations change as businesses do — new premises, additional directors, a changed constitution, a discontinued activity.
We handle amendments and surrenders, and every renewal date goes onto your compliance calendar with a reminder ahead of it.
