All the companies in India need to be registered under the Companies Act 1956. Before starting any business in the commercial market, it is necessary to get the company registered depending upon its type or capital invested.

In India, there is no formal procedure for registering a sole proprietorship. You need to open a bank account in the name of the firm and obtain few licenses required for the respective business. In case you want to start any private or public company getting it registered is a must.
In case you want to register your business as a private limited company there are a few pointers that you need to know.
• The company should have minimum two partners or directors with an individual DIN number.
• It should have a unique name ending with pvt.ltd.

• There should be at least 7 members or shareholders in the company.
• At least three directors in the company are compulsory while one of them should be a resident of India.
• The name of the company should specify its business and have ‘limited’ at the end of its name.
• A registered or temporary office address along with the objectives of the business in which the company wants to operate.
• A DSC for checking the authenticity of all the legal documents.
