New Business Set-up

Starting a business is surprisingly simple-you just need to take the first step. In order for a small business to be successful, it must solve a problem, fulfil a need or offer something the market wants. Field research is a key part of analysing your market and will help you build a successful business plan and brand. To make sure you get off on the right foot, it’s important to plan properly and find out what’s involved. Starting a small business will involve some initial investment as well as the ability to cover ongoing expenses before you are turning a profit. Put together a spreadsheet that estimates the one-time start-up costs for your business & you anticipate you will need to keep your business running with prefixed budget and cost effective.

FDI related guidance

The fast and steadily growing economy of India has made India one of the most famous and popular destinations in the world for Foreign Direct Investment [FDI]. The Government of India thus allows for FDI in almost all sectors except a very few. Sectoral caps have been fixed for certain sectors such as telecommunication, insurance, etc, whereas 100% FDI is allowed into most other sectors.

FDI under automatic route is now allowed in all sectors, including the service sector. On the other hand, approval of the RBI is to be obtained in the case of sectors not covered under the automatic route. We assist in foreign direct investments into India under both the routes. Investment in India, Overseas Investment, setting up of Cross Border business and branches require Central Bank approval at all levels besides approval required from local regulatory and advisory authorities. We have worldwide associates to help our clients set up Cross Border business ventures.
