Common Mistakes to Avoid
Registration budgets go wrong because of these hidden or overlooked costs.
- Forgetting DSC costs – Each director needs a digital signature certificate.
- Choosing capital that’s too high – Higher authorised capital increases government fees and stamp duty.
- Ignoring post-incorporation costs – Bank, GST, auditor and first-year compliance have their own costs.
- Comparing only headline prices – Some quotes exclude government fees or DSCs.
- Not budgeting for annual compliance – Audit, ROC filings and tax returns recur every year.
