Why go for Company Registration in Bangalore?

For founders, it is important to conduct extensive research and analysis of the competitive landscape and the different types of business structures available before registering a company in Bangalore. While the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) governs the company registration process in India, one can go for registration of a Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd), One Person Company (OPC), Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), or Public Limited Company depending upon the suitable structure and future business plan. OPC registration or LLP registration will be ideal structures for a close group of people with minimal external contribution. Whereas Pvt Ltd is considered most favorable due to features like ease in raising/borrowing funds from outsiders, accessibility to foreign parties, limited liability of owners, and clarity in management and ownership. Let’s take a look at the process, fees, and requirements for company registration in Banglore.

Subsidiary Company Registration in Bangalore

Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) are instrumental to the economic growth and development of any country. Keeping the same in mind the Indian government allows NRIs and foreign nationals to invest in India by permitting 100% FDI through automatic routes in most industries. We see offshore offices of many MNCs in Bangalore due to the same reason. Some of the benefits of registering a subsidiary in Bangalore are permanent establishment in a resource-rich environment, easy and online registration process, strategic control over operations, and expansion with limited liability. NRIs or Foreign Nationals can register a new subsidiary private limited company following the same process as mentioned above in no time.
