Incorporation Execution
Indian incorporation is efficient for those who arrive prepared and circular for those who do not. The MCA's SPICe+ process consolidates name reservation, incorporation, PAN, TAN, and several registrations into one filing — genuinely fast when documents are right. But foreign shareholders bring the workstream that actually drives timelines: parent-company documents requiring notarisation and apostille in home jurisdictions, director identification and digital signatures for non-residents, and charter documents that must simultaneously satisfy Indian law and the parent's governance expectations. Sequenced badly, these consume weeks apiece; run in parallel, they overlap into a predictable schedule.
We execute incorporation as parallel workstreams with one owner. Foreign document legalisation begins first, because it is the longest pole; name strategy is cleared against MCA practice and trademark conflicts before reservation is attempted; charter documents are drafted for your governance reality — shareholder protections, board mechanics, authorised capital sized for the funding plan — rather than downloaded; and the SPICe+ filing lands complete, because resubmission cycles are where three-week incorporations become nine-week ones. The certificate arrives on a schedule you were told at the start.

- Non-resident director formalities: DIN, digital signatures, and declarations.

Why A2 Consultants
Our incorporations land on schedule because resubmission cycles have been engineered out — documents validated before filing, names cleared before reservation, and the foreign-shareholder workstream started before anything else.
Engagement & what to expect
Execution runs six to ten weeks end-to-end for foreign-shareholder incorporations, with the legalisation workstream — notarisation and apostille in home jurisdictions — started on day one because it is always the longest pole. Indian workstreams run in parallel: name strategy, charter drafting, director formalities, and the SPICe+ filing prepared for first-pass acceptance. You receive a dated timeline at the start and weekly status against it. The engagement concludes with the incorporation certificate and the complete corporate kit — documents, registers, and the compliance calendar that begins immediately.
Incorporation speed is decided by preparation and parallelism — we supply both, and the certificate arrives on schedule.
