Everything a foreign company needs to operate in India — incorporation, registration, resident director, registered address, bank account opening, and compliance — so you can focus on building your business.
Explore the process before you commit — no obligation.
Setting up a company in India as a foreign company usually means registering a wholly owned subsidiary — an Indian private limited company — with a resident director, a registered office, and PAN, TAN, and GST registrations, followed by ongoing GST, TDS, ROC, and RBI/FEMA compliance. Figures Advisors runs the full Indian subsidiary registration and compliance remotely, as your on-ground team in India.
You're not hiring a consultant who hands you a checklist. You get an on-ground India team — chartered accountants, company secretaries, and lawyers — who take ownership of your setup and compliance end to end.
We provide the resident director, the registered office, and the local presence Indian law requires. We file, we reconcile, we respond to notices, and we sit across from the bank and the auditor — so you never have to fly in to keep things moving.
Everything a foreign company needs to incorporate and operate in India — without flying in or building a local team.
We evaluate the right structure — private limited, Limited Liability Partnership, or branch — and handle name approval, SPICe+ incorporation, Permanent Account Number, Tax Account Number, and statutory records. You track progress; we do the filing.
Indian law requires at least one resident director (sometimes called a nominee director). We arrange a qualified resident director with DIN, DSC, consent, and KYC handled — so a missing local director never blocks your incorporation.
A registered address is mandatory for every Indian company. We provide a compliant registered office in any Indian state you need — not just the metros — and handle all government and RoC correspondence on your behalf.
We prepare the board resolution and KYC pack and coordinate directly with the bank, so foreign founders can open an Indian current account with minimal back-and-forth.
GST, TDS, income tax, ROC, and RBI/FEMA run on a managed calendar — books kept current, returns filed on time, and notices handled by our in-house CAs and company secretaries.
Commercial agreements, vendor and customer contracts, NDAs, and employment terms — drafted and reviewed by our in-house lawyers, with the tax and regulatory context built in. No outside counsel to coordinate.
Everything needed to get incorporated and operational.
Expert help and on-ground execution to keep you compliant.
You're a foreign company that needs an India entity to hire, sell, or operate locally.
You want a subsidiary set up correctly the first time — entity, tax, and FEMA all aligned.
You don't have a resident director or a registered office, and don't want to source them yourself.
You need someone on the ground for banking, audits, and statutory correspondence.
You'd rather have one accountable team than juggle a registration agent, a CA, and a lawyer.
Setup is quoted as a fixed scope; ongoing compliance runs as a predictable monthly retainer. You'll know exactly what's included before you commit.
We help businesses incorporate and operate in India remotely — wherever you are headquartered.
Yes. Every Indian company must have at least one director who is resident in India (present for 182+ days in the financial year). We can provide a qualified resident director — sometimes called a nominee director — so a missing local director never blocks your incorporation.
For a private limited company, incorporation typically takes around 1–3 weeks once documents are in order — covering name approval, SPICe+ filing, the Certificate of Incorporation, and Permanent Account Number/Tax Account Number. Timelines vary with document readiness and government processing.
In most cases, yes. We prepare the board resolution and KYC pack and coordinate directly with the bank. Some banks may require limited additional verification, which we manage on your behalf.
No. Our on-ground team in Bengaluru and Mumbai handles incorporation, registrations, registered office, and compliance, so you can establish and run an India entity without being physically present.
Most foreign companies set up a wholly owned subsidiary (private limited company). Depending on your activity and ownership, a Limited Liability Partnership or branch/liaison office may fit better. We map the options to your tax and regulatory position before you commit — see our comparison of India entity types.
An Indian company has recurring obligations across GST, TDS, income tax, ROC annual filings, and RBI/FEMA reporting for foreign-owned entities. We manage these as a calendar so nothing is missed.
India entity setup is quoted as a fixed, transparent scope — covering incorporation, registrations, the resident director, and the registered office — while ongoing compliance runs as a predictable monthly retainer. The cost depends on the entity type, the state, and the scope of work, so we give you a clear scoped quote before you commit.
