Business Advisory & Structuring
A structure chosen early is simple to change and difficult to undo. We compare the options against how the business will actually earn, hold assets, and distribute profit.
What this area handles
The first structural questions arrive before revenue. Private limited company, LLP, or partnership? One entity, or a holding company with subsidiaries? And which entity holds the intellectual property? Each answer changes the tax rate on profit, the route by which promoters take money out, and the ease of raising capital later. We work through those questions with the promoters and then document the position taken. Analysis covers the corporate tax position under the Income-tax Act, 1961, and the routes available for distribution and promoter remuneration. It also covers the reporting each form attracts under the Companies Act, 2013 or the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. For groups, we map which entity holds assets, which contracts with customers, and how related-party transactions will be priced and disclosed. Restructuring work follows the same method. Conversions, share transfers, business transfers, and demergers each carry a specific tax treatment and an approval path. We set out both before anything is filed. Shareholder terms — rights, transfer restrictions, exit mechanics — are reviewed alongside the lawyers who will draft them.
