Starting a Business

Many founders are confused about what kind of entity to register when they start their business. Should it be a private limited company,limited liability partnership , partnership firm, one person company or a sole proprietorship. Each of these has very specific advantages and disadvantages. There is no one type for all businesses. A private limited company registration, for example, would be a good fit for any venture that will look for funding at a later stage. You can contact Credfy.in for all the advice you need. We assure you of great service at a reasonable price. You can find a company name availability here.

Intellectual Property

In modern business, there is no other asset as valuable as intellectual property, and yet so many startups end up neglecting it. But this is surely not advisable, as trademarks, copyrights and patents ensure that you have sole rights to your creation, be it your brand, your designs or your inventions. At Credfy.in, we are well equipped to handle all your IP requirements. We facilitate trademark applications in just three days,copyright registration for all your software, pictures, audio and video content, and can connect you to patent attorneys to conduct a patent search and file your patent applications. You can find a Trademark availability here.

Government Registrations

In India, you need a license for everything in business. Started a manufacturing business? You need aGST Registration and a Trade License. For a food business, you need an FSSAI license. Have employees? You need a Professional Tax registration and Shops & Establishments Act Registration. If that`s not enough, you also need to file GST Returns and Professional Tax Returns.

Legal Documentation

The worst way to approach business is to just get into new partnerships and arenas without examining consequences. By getting a lawyer to draft contracts or agreements with new vendors, employees and investors, you`re ensuring that you have all the downsides covered. At Credfy.in, we connect you to lawyers who will deliver complex documents, fromshareholders agreements and founders` agreements to terms of service/privacy policy and non-disclosure agreements, at a reasonable cost in a few days` time. Well-known startups, such as Holachef and Big Basket, have chosen to connect with a lawyer through us for their documentation work.

Mandatory Compliance

It`s not enough to have started a private limited company or an LLP. You need to comply with all the requirements of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and Income Tax Act once you do. You need to inform them of every relevant change you make, whether it is adding a director, removing a partner or increasing authorised share capital. You also need to file annual returns and maintain your accounts. In the case of a private limited company, you even need them audited. At Credfy.in, we facilitate all these services completely online. Which means you can engage a professional on retainer for the year and we`ll ensure that all the formalities are completed for you while you focus on your business.

Libra for Lawyers

Our law practice management software Libra is, therefore, a game-changer, as it will enable lawyers to single-handedly manage their practice. It gives them 24-hour access (on mobile and desktop) to their clients, cases, schedule, bill payments and even nation-wide judgements.Software for lawyer`s offices will have a huge impact on any area of the practice.
