Start your company in
India.
From choosing the right structure to opening the bank account, TheBizCFO sets up your company in India, the UAE or Singapore, and stays on as your finance partner once you start trading.
Incorporation is the first decision. We make sure it's the right one.
Most firms register a company and disappear. We start by asking why you're setting up, where your customers are and how money will move, then choose the structure, jurisdiction and banking that fit. Once you're live, the same team keeps your books, taxes and filings in order.
Because we also run Virtual CFO engagements, we set up companies the way a CFO would want them: clean ownership, the right tax registrations, and a chart of accounts that's ready from day one.
Structure & jurisdiction advice
Entity type, ownership, holding structure and the right country for your model.
Registration & licensing
Name approval, documentation, filings and licences, handled end to end.
Bank account opening
We prepare the business profile and documents banks ask for, and coordinate the opening.
Tax registrations
GST, VAT and corporate tax registrations set up correctly from the start.
Cross-border compliance
FDI and ODI reporting under FEMA when money moves between countries.
Ongoing compliance & CFO
Bookkeeping, annual filings and Virtual CFO support once you're operating.
