Starting a business in India in 2025 has become much easier thanks to automation, digitization, and expert service providers. However, the process still involves multiple legal, tax, and regulatory requirements. This is where ProLead comes in — simplifying the journey for foreign and Indian entrepreneurs alike. Let’s go step by step.
Incorporation of a Company in India
Company incorporation and compliance requirements are regulated under the Companies Act, 2013.
- To register a private limited company in India, you need:
To incorporate a company in India, a minimum of two directors and two shareholders are required, and in some cases, the same individuals can act as both directors and shareholders. Additionally, at least one of the directors must be a resident of India, and it is mandatory for the company to have a registered office address within India for incorporation purposes.
- For foreign entrepreneurs, these requirements may look challenging. ProLead provides solutions such as:
- Nominee Director Services – fulfilling the requirement of an Indian resident director.
- Virtual Office Solutions – giving you an official registered office address in India without the need to lease a physical space.
This makes the incorporation process seamless, fast, and less time-consuming.
Foreign Shareholding and RBI Compliance
If foreign investors bring in capital, it requires RBI compliance and reporting, which can often be lengthy and complex. To help businesses start quickly, ProLead offers legal advisory solutions, including the option of starting with nominee Indian shareholders, and later transferring shares to the foreign entrepreneurs once compliance is completed.
