A Step-by-Step Guide by Taxlegit

Planning to start a business? A Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) is one of the smartest choices. I’m a tax consultant with Taxlegit, and I’ve helped hundreds of businesses register the right way.
Let me walk you through the process in simple steps.
Why Choose a Pvt Limited Company?
A pvt limited company registration gives your business a legal identity. Your personal assets stay safe. You get better credibility with clients and investors. It's ideal if you want to grow and scale.
Key benefits:
Limited liability
Easy to raise funds
Better brand value
Separate legal entity
Trusted structure for startups
Who Can Register?
You need:
Minimum 2 directors
Minimum 2 shareholders
One must be a resident of India
No criminal background
Foreign nationals can also be shareholders. You don’t need to visit any office. At Taxlegit, I manage everything online.
Documents Required
Keep these documents ready:
PAN card (all directors and shareholders)
Aadhaar card
Address proof (bank statement or utility bill)
Passport-size photo
Business address proof (rental agreement or utility)
Make sure all documents are clear and updated. One wrong detail can delay the process.
Steps for Pvt Limited Company Registration
1. Apply for Digital Signature (DSC)
Each director needs a DSC. It’s used to sign electronic documents. This is the first step.
2. Apply for Director Identification Number (DIN)
DIN is a unique number for each director. I’ll help you get it through the SPICe+ form.
3. Name Approval
Choose a unique name for your company. It should not match existing names or trademarks. You can check trademark online to avoid name conflicts.
Always keep two name options ready. If one gets rejected, we move to the next.
4. Drafting of MOA & AOA
MOA (Memorandum of Association) and AOA (Articles of Association) define your business scope and rules.
I help you create these in a professional format. They are submitted with the registration form.
5. Submit SPICe+ Form
This is the main form for company registration. It includes:
PAN & TAN application
GST registration (optional)
EPFO & ESIC registration
Bank account opening request
You don't have to fill separate forms. One single form does it all.
6. Certificate of Incorporation
Once approved, you receive the Certificate of Incorporation. Your company is now officially registered.
You also get your company PAN, TAN, and CIN.
Pvt Ltd vs Single Person Company Registration
If you’re a solo entrepreneur, you can also consider Single Person Company registration.
Feature | Pvt Ltd | Single Person Company |
---|---|---|
Owners | 2 or more | 1 |
Directors | Minimum 2 | 1 |
Legal status | Separate entity | Separate entity |
Compliance | Moderate | Low to moderate |
Fundraising | Easier | Limited options |
I guide clients based on their future plans. If you plan to grow fast, Pvt Ltd is better.
