For Indian promoters and overseas companies deciding how to hold a business in India: which entity, who owns it, who sits on its board, and what has to be on file from the first day. An overseas company is weighing a subsidiary, an LLP, or a branch or liaison office in India A promoter group has grown entity by entity and the chart no longer matches the paperwork A new line of business needs its own vehicle, or a joint venture needs a home Shareholding, board seats or inter-company arrangements need to be written down properly Options paper The realistic entity choices side by side: approvals, board and residency rules, reporting, exit route.
