FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about business formation, structure selection, incorporation timelines, and post-setup compliance — answered clearly.

What is the difference between a Private Limited Company and an LLP?

A Private Limited Company has shareholders and directors, offers limited liability, is easier to raise external funding for, and is governed by the Companies Act 2013. An LLP has designated partners, offers limited liability, has simpler governance and lower compliance costs, but is less suited for equity fundraising. We advise on the right choice based on your business plan.

How long does it take to incorporate a Private Limited Company?

With all documents in order, incorporation typically takes 7–10 working days. The timeline depends on MCA21 processing speed and availability of your preferred company name. We provide a realistic estimate after reviewing your requirements.

What documents are required for company incorporation?

For directors and shareholders: PAN card, Aadhaar / Passport, address proof (bank statement or utility bill), and passport-size photographs. For the registered office: address proof and NOC from the property owner. We provide a detailed checklist tailored to your chosen entity type.

What is the difference between a Section 8 Company, a Trust, and a Society?

A Section 8 Company is registered under the Companies Act and offers the highest regulatory credibility — preferred for institutional grants and government recognition. A Trust is created by a deed under the Indian Trusts Act — simpler but with fewer compliance requirements. A Society is formed under the Societies Registration Act and is member-governed. Each suits different organizational purposes and scales.

What are the compliance requirements in the first year after incorporation?

In the first year, a newly incorporated company must: appoint a statutory auditor within 30 days, hold the first board meeting within 30 days, open a bank account and deposit share capital, file INC-20A (commencement of business), and file AOC-4 and MGT-7 annually. JBB handles all of this as part of our incorporation package.

Can JBB help me choose the right structure for my business?

Yes — structure selection is the most important part of our process. We evaluate your business model, funding requirements, tax implications, number of founders, and long-term objectives before recommending the most suitable legal structure. This advisory is provided as part of every engagement.
