Introduction
Company registration is the legal process of registering your business with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It establishes your business as a separate legal entity in the eyes of the law. In India, registering start-ups as Private Limited Companies (Also known as pvt ltd company registration), Section 8 Companies, or even as OPCs (One Person Companies) has become increasingly common. These structures are particularly popular among entrepreneurs who wish to maintain complete ownership and control. Recognizing this trend, the MCA offers multiple registration options to help entrepreneurs formalize their start-ups at the earliest stages of their business journey.

- Unattested foreign documents – Foreign directors’ documents usually need apostille or notarisation.
- NOC without the owner’s signature – The NOC must be signed by the property owner.
