The cost varies depending on the type of business entity you choose. Proprietorship registration can start from ₹2,000-₹5,000 (for GST/MSME registration), while Partnership firms range from ₹5,000-₹10,000. LLP registration typically costs ₹10,000-₹15,000, and Private Limited Company registration ranges from ₹15,000-₹25,000. Government fees, stamp duty, and professional charges are included. At TaxSlick, we provide transparent pricing with no hidden costs.

For small businesses and solo entrepreneurs, Proprietorship is the simplest and most cost-effective option. If you're planning to take on partners, a Partnership or LLP is better for shared responsibility. If you plan to scale, raise funding, or build investor confidence, a Private Limited Company is ideal from the start. Our experts will help you choose based on your business goals, liability concerns, and future plans.

Registration timelines vary by entity type: Proprietorship (GST/MSME) takes 3-7 working days, Partnership registration takes 5-10 working days, LLP registration takes 10-15 working days, and Private Limited Company registration takes 15-20 working days. These timelines assume all documents are correct and complete. TaxSlick ensures fast-track processing with proper documentation from day one.

While it's not legally mandatory, having expert guidance from a CA, CS, or legal professional is highly recommended. They help you choose the right entity structure, prepare accurate documentation, ensure compliance with MCA/GST regulations, and avoid common mistakes that can lead to delays or rejections. TaxSlick provides end-to-end expert support - you don't need to hire separately.

Yes! Proprietorship is the most popular choice for freelancers. It allows you to register your business under your own name or a brand name, open a current account, raise invoices with GST (if applicable), claim business expenses, and build professional credibility. Registration is simple - you just need GST registration (if turnover exceeds ₹20 lakhs) and/or MSME/Udyam registration for benefits.

LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) is suitable for professionals and service-based businesses with 2+ partners, offers limited liability protection, has lower compliance requirements, and cannot raise funding from VCs/angel investors. Private Limited Company is ideal for startups and product-based businesses planning to scale, offers complete liability protection, allows equity fundraising, requires more compliance (annual audits, ROC filings), and provides better exit options. Choose LLP for professional services; choose Pvt Ltd if you want to raise funding.

Common documents include: PAN Card and Aadhaar of all directors/partners, Address proof (Passport/Voter ID/Driving License), Recent passport-size photographs, Registered office address proof (Rent Agreement/Utility Bill/NOC), Bank account statement, and Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for directors. For companies and LLPs, you'll also need MOA, AOA, or LLP Agreement drafted by us. TaxSlick handles all documentation - we guide you step by step.

Yes, but it depends on your business structure. Proprietorship offers NO liability protection - your personal assets are at risk. Partnership has unlimited liability for all partners. LLP provides limited liability - partners' personal assets are protected from business debts. Private Limited Company offers the highest protection - your liability is limited to your share capital only. If liability protection is important to you, choose LLP or Pvt Ltd.

Yes, you can convert your business structure as it grows. Common conversions include: Proprietorship → Partnership/LLP/Pvt Ltd, Partnership → LLP/Pvt Ltd, and LLP → Private Limited Company. However, conversion involves legal procedures, fresh registration, and compliance costs. It's best to choose the right structure from the start. Our experts help you plan for growth so you don't need costly conversions later.
