Frequently Asked
Structure Selection Essentials
Why do VC investors insist on a Private Limited Company?
A Pvt Ltd company is the only entity structure in India that allows for share issuance, preferred stock creation, convertible debt notes, and clear equity dilution.
Can I convert an LLP or Proprietorship into a Pvt Ltd later?
Yes. You can convert a Proprietorship or LLP into a Private Limited Company under Section 366 of the Companies Act once your business scales.
Is statutory audit mandatory for all entities?
Pvt Ltd companies and OPCs require a mandatory annual statutory audit regardless of turnover. LLPs require an audit only if turnover exceeds ₹40 Lakhs or capital exceeds ₹25 Lakhs.
How does taxation differ between Pvt Ltd and LLP?
Pvt Ltd companies enjoy a lower base income tax rate of 25% (or 15% for new manufacturing). LLPs have a flat 30% tax rate, but profits can be distributed to partners without Dividend Tax.
