Doctors & Clinics

Clinic registration, professional tax, GST for services

Private practice and multi-doctor clinics need the right entity, professional tax, and clinic branding — not a generic startup checklist.

  • Proprietorship or Pvt Ltd
  • Professional Tax
  • GST (if applicable)
  • Shop Act
  • Trademark for clinic name

Creators & YouTubers

GST, trademark, and brand protection for digital income

Creator income is real income. Structure cleanly, register GST when needed, protect your brand, and file tax without the scramble.

  • Proprietorship or LLP
  • GST registration
  • Trademark
  • Income tax filing
  • Contract templates

Agencies & Consultants

GST, TDS, and clean books from day one

Client work means invoices, GST, and often TDS. Get entity, tax, and books right so growth doesn’t create compliance debt.

  • GST registration
  • TDS returns
  • Trademark
  • Payroll when you hire
Start this playbook

SaaS & Tech Founders

Pvt Ltd, ESOP-ready structure, and compliance automation

Investors and ESOP plans expect Pvt Ltd hygiene — incorporation, GST/LUT, MCA filings, and IP done properly from day one.

  • Pvt Ltd incorporation
  • GST + export LUT
  • MCA annual filings
  • Trademark
  • FDI guidance

Restaurants & Food Brands

FSSAI, GST, and shop licenses handled together

Food businesses live on licenses. FSSAI, GST, Shop Act, and brand marks should ship as one stack — not six separate vendors.

  • FSSAI license
  • GST registration
  • Shop Act
  • Trademark
  • Udyam (optional)
Start this playbook

Clothing & D2C Brands

Brand protection and e-commerce compliance

D2C wins on brand. Lock the mark, stay GST-clean for marketplaces, and keep annual filings from blocking inventory or funding.

  • Pvt Ltd or LLP
  • GST
  • Trademark + logo
  • Import Export Code
  • Annual filings
Start this playbook
