FAQ
Company registration in Chennai: your questions
How long does company registration in Chennai take?
A private limited company usually takes 7 to 15 working days from the time we receive complete documents. Name approval takes about 2 to 4 working days and incorporation another 3 to 7, depending on MCA processing. LLPs take a similar time; proprietorships and partnerships are usually quicker.
Can I register my company online?
Yes. Company incorporation in Chennai is fully online through the MCA's SPICe+ system. You share scanned documents on WhatsApp or email, sign digitally, and receive the Certificate of Incorporation by email. There is no need to visit a government office.
Do I need a CA for company registration?
The MCA requires incorporation forms to be certified by a practising Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary or Cost Accountant. You don't need to find one yourself: that certification is part of our business registration service in Chennai.
Can I register a company from outside Chennai?
Yes. We help founders across India and NRIs abroad. Your company is registered with the Registrar of Companies for the state of your registered office, and the whole process is online, so you never need to travel.
What does private limited company registration in Chennai cost?
The total is government fees (MCA fees and Tamil Nadu stamp duty, based on authorised capital), Digital Signature Certificates for each director, and our professional fee. We share an itemised quote with government fees shown separately before any work starts.
Which is better for a startup: private limited or LLP?
If you plan to raise investment or offer ESOPs, a private limited company is usually the better choice. If you are a professional or service business with partners and want lighter compliance, an LLP often suits better. We help you decide on a short call.
Is there a minimum capital for company registration?
No. There is no minimum paid-up capital for a private limited company, LLP or OPC. Many founders start with ₹10,000 to ₹1 lakh. Authorised capital affects government fees, so we help you choose a sensible figure.
Can I use my home address as the registered office?
Yes. A residential address can be the registered office. You need a recent utility bill and, if the property isn't in your name, a no-objection letter from the owner. You can change the address later.
What happens after business registration in Chennai?
After incorporation you open a current account, appoint the first auditor within 30 days and file the commencement of business declaration within 180 days. GST registration may also be needed. We guide you through each step and remind you of every due date.
