How it works
Three steps from start to a registered company.
2
MoA/AoA drafting and SPICe+ filing
Second week. We draft the Memorandum and Articles of Association to your business objects and shareholder preferences, then file SPICe+ Part A and Part B with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
3
Certificate of Incorporation and registrations
Third week. The Registrar of Companies issues the Certificate of Incorporation. We then apply for PAN and TAN, register for GST where required, and guide your company bank account opening.

Brand details

We run a RUN name-availability check with the MCA and suggest alternatives if needed.

Pvt Ltd suits startups raising capital and offering ESOPs; LLP suits professional services and small businesses; OPC suits a solo founder. We can advise on the call.

Pvt Ltd needs at least 2 directors, LLP at least 2 partners, OPC is a single owner. We arrange DIN and DSC for each.

Legal team
GTC's formation team
Business counsel
Attorney-led
Right structure first
Pvt Ltd, LLP, or OPC is a real decision with consequences for fundraising, ESOPs, and compliance. We talk through the trade-offs before we file, so the entity fits the plan.
Documents drafted, not templated
Your MoA and AoA are drafted to your actual objects and shareholder preferences — not a generic form that breaks the first time an investor reads it.
Built for foreign founders
A Pvt Ltd needs one India-resident director. We coordinate the resident-director requirement and the registered-office address so overseas founders can incorporate cleanly.
Registrations, not just the certificate
Incorporation is the start. We carry it through PAN, TAN, GST, and bank-account opening so the company is ready to invoice and trade, not stuck waiting on a number.
Your Customer Success Team
A dedicated team that owns your matter from start to finish.
Every GTC client gets a dedicated Account Manager and a Senior Account Manager who learn your business and stay with you from first email to final filing. They are named people who pick up the phone and already know your matter, so every step moves forward without delay.
Your Account Manager
Your day-to-day point of contact, who coordinates every matter, keeps things moving, and already knows your file. They have your full history, so you start every conversation where the last one left off.
Your Senior Account Manager
Senior oversight on strategy and escalations, stepping in as your needs grow, so every important detail stays on track.
A named person, on email or a call, at every step.
