India Entity Structure Recommendation Tool: Five Questions to the Right Entry Route

Answer five questions on revenue, hiring, invoicing, control, and duration, and get a recommended India entry structure with the tax impact and tradeoffs spelled out.

The right India entry structure is not a matter of picking the cheapest option on paper. A subsidiary, branch, joint venture, liaison office, and Employer of Record each solve a different problem, and choosing the wrong one usually shows up later, when it is expensive or slow to unwind. This tool asks the five questions that actually decide it: your revenue plan, hiring plan, whether you need to invoice locally, how much control you want, and how long you expect to stay.

      This tool gives a directional recommendation based on common patterns, not legal or tax advice. Entity choice has real, sometimes hard-to-reverse consequences, confirm with an advisor before filing anything.
      Written for general information, not as legal or tax advice, and it does not create an advisor–client relationship. Indian tax and regulatory positions change at least annually — check the date above, then talk to someone before acting on it.
