Set up in India
We incorporate your own company in India and get it ready to operate, with one point of contact from the first document to your first hire.
The structure depends on what you plan to do in India. Most clients choose a private limited subsidiary.
| Entity | When it fits |
|---|---|
| Wholly owned subsidiary (private limited company) | The usual choice. A separate Indian company owned by your company, able to employ people and do business in India. |
| Limited liability partnership (LLP) | Can suit some businesses, depending on the sector and the foreign investment rules that apply to it. |
| Branch or liaison office | An office of your foreign company rather than a separate company. What it may do is restricted, and it needs approval before it opens. |
We confirm the right structure with you in the first step.
From the first structure check to a company that's ready to hire.
We can keep your company compliant once it's running.
Handled by our in-house team or our partner CA firm, depending on what your setup needs. You deal with one point of contact throughout.
If your team is employed through our Employer of Record, your employees move from our payroll to your new company without breaking continuity of service or benefits.
Timelines depend on your home country and how quickly documents can be prepared, notarised and apostilled. We give you a timeline once we've seen your documents.
Esuhai started on our Employer of Record and set up Esuhai India Private Limited in parallel.
We employed Esuhai's first people in India, set up Esuhai India Private Limited, and built tikme.com(opens in a new tab), its portal for learning Japanese, building job skills and finding work in Japan.
