Company Registration & Start-up Advisory Services at Nyaya Astra Legal Advisors

At Nyaya Astra Legal Advisors, we recognize that the legal foundation of any enterprise is laid at the moment of its incorporation. For a start-up, the process of company registration is not merely a statutory formality, but the creation of a corporate structure that defines ownership, governance, investment potential, and compliance responsibilities. With this understanding, our firm offers a comprehensive suite of services tailored for entrepreneurs, start-ups, and growing businesses.

1. Entity Selection & Structuring Advisory

Choosing the right legal entity is one of the most critical decisions for a founder. We provide detailed consultations on the advantages, disadvantages, and compliance obligations of different entities under Indian law—Private Limited Companies, Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), One Person Companies (OPCs), Section 8 Companies, and other corporate forms. Our lawyers assess business models, funding aspirations, tax implications, and regulatory frameworks to recommend the most suitable structure.

2. End-to-End Incorporation Services

We manage the entire incorporation process with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and compliance. This includes:

• Name approval and trademark clearance.

• Preparation and filing of SPICe+ forms, Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA).

• Obtaining Director Identification Numbers (DINs) and Digital Signatures (DSCs).

• PAN, TAN, GST, and other statutory registrations integrated with incorporation.

• Coordination with banks for smooth opening of current accounts.

3. Founders’ Agreements & Shareholding Arrangements

Beyond incorporation, it is vital to regulate internal relationships among founders and early investors. We draft Founders’ Agreements, Shareholders’ Agreements, and Vesting Schedules that protect the company’s interests, ensure clarity in ownership, and reduce the risk of disputes. Our documents address capital contributions, equity distribution, exit options, and dispute resolution.

4. Intellectual Property Protection

We guide start-ups in safeguarding their intellectual property from inception. This includes drafting IP Assignment Agreements, ensuring founders transfer all pre-incorporation IP to the company, filing for trademarks, copyrights, and patents, and advising on confidentiality frameworks for employees and contractors.

5. ESOP Structuring & Compliance

Attracting and retaining talent is essential for start-ups. We design and implement Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) that align with founder and investor expectations while complying with Indian company law and taxation rules. Our lawyers provide end-to-end documentation and ensure compliance with ROC filings and board approvals.

6. Regulatory & Tax Registrations

We assist companies in securing all relevant registrations, such as:

• Goods and Services Tax (GST).

• Professional Tax, PF, ESI, and labour law registrations.

• Sector-specific approvals (for NBFCs, fintech, healthcare, education, etc.).
  Our approach ensures founders can operate without regulatory bottlenecks.

7. Ongoing Compliance & Corporate Governance

Company incorporation is only the beginning. We offer retainer services and compliance packages that cover:

• Drafting board resolutions and minutes.

• Maintaining statutory registers.

• Filing annual returns (AOC-4, MGT-7).

• Ensuring adherence to the Companies Act, 2013 and allied regulations.
  This proactive governance model helps start-ups avoid penalties and regulatory scrutiny.

8. Fundraising & Investment Documentation

Our start-up team is skilled in drafting and negotiating investment documents such as term sheets, convertible notes, preference share agreements, and shareholder agreements. We bridge the gap between legal compliance and market-standard investor expectations, ensuring that start-ups remain attractive to angel investors, venture capitalists, and institutional funds.

9. Sector-Specific Start-up Advisory

Start-ups often operate in regulated industries. We provide tailored legal support for fintech, edtech, healthtech, e-commerce, and technology-driven enterprises by mapping applicable laws, licensing requirements, and data protection obligations.

10. Dispute Avoidance & Resolution

By embedding clear dispute-resolution mechanisms in founders’ agreements, employment contracts, and investor documents, we prevent future conflicts. Where disputes arise, our firm represents clients in arbitration, mediation, and litigation before judicial and regulatory forums.

Our Approach

• Precision & Compliance: Every document and filing is prepared with utmost accuracy to withstand scrutiny by regulatory authorities.

• Founder-Centric: We simplify legal complexities and provide practical advice that entrepreneurs can easily implement.

• Technology-Driven: We leverage modern digital tools to make filings faster and more reliable.

• Long-Term Partnership: Beyond registration, we continue to support our clients through growth, investment rounds, and expansion.

Incorporation is not just about obtaining a Certificate of Registration—it is about building a legally sound corporate vehicle capable of attracting investment, protecting assets, and scaling sustainably. At Nyaya Astra Legal Advisors, we combine legal acumen with commercial insight, making us the preferred legal partner for entrepreneurs and start-ups navigating the Indian business landscape.
