Directors' names are not published on this website until each director has agreed (◌ To be confirmed). They are on the public record at the Registrar of Companies.

Not yet. The six services on this website are a proposed scope (◌ To be confirmed). The list will be confirmed by the company's directors.

In most sectors, yes, under the automatic route of India's foreign direct investment policy. Some sectors have caps or need government approval, so the sector is the first thing to check.

Every Indian company needs at least one director who stays in India for at least 182 days in the financial year (Companies Act, 2013, section 149(3)). An LLP needs one designated partner resident for at least 120 days.

It depends on the number of processes, locations and systems. The written scope sets the list and the dates before work starts.

Yes. Controls should live where the work happens, so the design follows your systems, not ours.

Where they help. A dashboard is only as good as the definitions behind it, so the definitions come first.

The first board meeting within 30 days of incorporation, then at least four a year with no more than 120 days between two meetings (section 173(1)). Some small, one-person, dormant and start-up private companies may meet once in each half of the calendar year instead (section 173(5)).

Process maps, a delegation of authority, a risk and control matrix and short standard operating procedures, built in your own systems and handed to named owners.

No. A project report states the promoter's assumptions as the promoter's. Valuations, certificates and assurance are for the professionals the law or the transaction requires.

The intended practice, still to be confirmed, is a conversation about the decision you face, then a written scope with dates and a fee basis, with work starting once the scope is agreed.

The fee basis is set out in the written scope, with the dates, before any work starts. The website does not quote fees.

Where possible, yes. Documents, templates and calendars are built in the tools your people already use, so nothing depends on the company afterwards.

Your team runs the result. The intended practice is a check-in after the first cycles and then a step back, leaving a handover file and a short self-check (◌ To be confirmed).

The proposed services are designed for overseas companies entering India, promoter-led and family businesses, manufacturing and trading, services and technology companies, growing private companies and not-for-profit organisations. The sector list is to be confirmed (◌ To be confirmed).

No. The website names no clients, and the assistant will not name any.

The proposed scope includes overseas businesses setting up or running an entity in India, such as a subsidiary, an LLP or a branch or liaison office.

Usually a subsidiary (a private limited company), a limited liability partnership, a branch office or a liaison office. A project office is a narrower route for one contract. The comparison tool on the tools page sets them side by side.

The earlier limits were ₹4 crore and ₹40 crore.

No. The definition excludes every holding and subsidiary company, whatever its size, so a foreign-owned subsidiary follows the full rules, including four board meetings a year.

No. A liaison office may represent its parent, promote trade and act as a communication channel, but may not carry on any commercial, trading or industrial activity. Its costs are met from remittances from abroad.

Under the 2016 FEMA establishment regulations: for a branch office, a profit-making record in the five preceding financial years and a net worth of at least USD 100,000; for a liaison office, three years and USD 50,000.
