If you are a foreign national and want to start a company in India, there is a basic procedure that you need to follow.

As Private limited company is the most suited entity type for foreigners, I’m assuming that you will go with the same

There are few mandatory requirements that need to be followed.

• A company must have at least 2 shareholders (and can have a maximum of 200)

• At least 2 directors required of which 1 director must be a resident Indian
However, I will advise you to have 3 directors with two being from the same country. This helps in saving the travel cost during the annual board meetings later.

Please note that Shareholders and Directors can be the same people.

• You will need an address that will act as your company address. You may or may not have your teamwork from this office/ address.
(Rental agreement and NOC from the owner of the property is required)

Documents required for incorporation

For each Director and Shareholder:

• Identity proof

  o Passport copy ( mandatory for foreigners and Indians with passport)

• Address proof

  o Anyone of:

     § Bank statement

     § Phone bill

     § Electricity bill

Trademark Registration completely depends on the uniqueness of a trademark, if someone objects for the trademark the process becomes slow. However we can try to get it as fast as possible.

Process for Trademark registration:

Before you start registration of your trademark, you need to conduct a trademark search in which you need to search the trademark database to check whether there is any other similar or identical trademark. After the completion of trademark search, Trademark registration can be filed with the fees in the Trademark Registrar. Then the registration application is allotted to a Trademark officer, who decides whether the application is accepted or rejected. If the trademark registration application is rejected, the applicant can appear before the officer to address the problem occurred at a given date and time. When the application is accepted it is published in the trademark journal with other trademark registrations for the public to see and if needed then oppose. If there is no objection within 90days then registration is accepted. But if there is an objection then a hearing is called before the Trademark hearing office where the applicant and the objecting party give evidence for their stand. Based on the evidence and hearing the officer decides to accept or reject the Trademark registration. If not opposed then the Trademark registration certificate will be given.

Documents Required for Trademark Registration

• Date of using the Logo/Tagline (Any supporting document for the same)
• Power of Attorney signed by the applicant
• Softcopy of the Logo/Tagline
