It is mandatory to register a business as part of legal compliance. Also, it is very important to register your business as it increases the credibility and authenticity of the business.
Investors always prefer a strong and legal business for investment. For example, an investor would hesitate to give money to a sole proprietor or partnership; while the investor may be more comfortable in investing in a more recognized business structure like a Private or Public Limited Company.
Let us understand the different types of company registrations in India. Here is a list of some of the most popular kinds of business structures:
A Private Limited Company is a type of business entity that is privately and collectively held by a small group of people. It offers limited liability to its shareholders and directors while also providing credibility and taxation benefits. It has a minimum of 2 members and a maximum of 200 members.
More than 90% of registered companies in India are Private Limited Companies. It is the easiest and most authentic way of company incorporation in India.

It helps owners to limit their liabilities while enjoying the advantages of a limited company which is an edge over a traditional partnership firm.
No partner is liable on account of unauthorized actions of other partners, thus individual partners can safeguard them from joint liability arising from misconduct of other partners. LLP as an organization is mostly preferred by professionals, micro and small businesses.

Earlier in a private limited company, a minimum of 2 directors and 2 members were required. A single person could not form a private company. But a new concept of OPC was introduced as per Section 2(62) in the Company’s Act 2013 where a single person can form a private limited company.
The need for OPC (One Person Company) arose due to the limitations of sole proprietorship firms which is the most popular form of business registration of small businesses in India.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
