Entity Structuring and Incorporation in India
Entity structuring and incorporation advisory in India: subsidiary, JV, branch, liaison office, and governance setup for Indian and foreign businesses.
Choose the right vehicle before you incorporate
Entity structuring and incorporation advisory helps businesses select and set up the right Indian vehicle—private limited company, LLP where appropriate, joint venture company, branch, or liaison office—based on ownership, control, tax, and regulatory constraints.
DuxLegis advises on structure selection, incorporation documentation, and early corporate governance so founders and foreign parents start with clean ownership and decision rights.
Founders, shareholders, and JVs
Shareholder, JV, and founder arrangements should be documented before capital and IP are contributed. Vague ownership of brands, code, or patents creates diligence problems later.
We align corporate documents with IP assignment and licensing so the company—not individuals—owns the assets investors expect.
Governance after incorporation
Corporate governance and compliance support includes board processes, statutory filings cadence, and practical risk controls as the business operates.
DuxLegis serves clients across India through its offices and representative network in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, Aurangabad, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Indore, Chandigarh, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, Ernakulam, Thiruvananthapuram, and Valsad.
Frequently asked questions
Should a foreign company open a subsidiary or a branch in India?
It depends on activities, FDI rules, tax, and commercial control—counsel compares options against your business plan.
When should founder agreements be signed?
Before significant capital, IP contribution, or public launch, so ownership and vesting are clear.
Does incorporation include trademark filing?
Incorporation and trademark filing are separate; we typically coordinate both so the brand is protected as the company launches.
