Incorporation
Turn the idea into the right entity.
The first legal decision can shape everything that follows. CompCrest helps founders put the business on the right footing — from choosing the entity to completing incorporation and startup registrations.
CompCrest assists founders in selecting the business structure that best fits how they plan to operate, own and grow the company.
Assistance with Udyam / MSME registration for eligible businesses, helping founders put the relevant government registration in place at the setup stage.
Support through the regulatory filing process for incorporating the company, including the MCA / ROC paperwork that takes the business from an idea to a formally incorporated entity.
Support with the Startup India / DPIIT recognition process for eligible startups, so the company is set up with the relevant startup registration framework in place.
Compliance
Stay ready for what comes next.
Incorporation is only the beginning. CompCrest helps businesses keep the company-secretarial and regulatory backbone in order — through recurring compliance and the paperwork that sits around transactions and foreign investment.
Retainership and recurring compliance support for companies and LLPs, including obligations under the Companies Act, 2013 and the Limited Liability Partnership framework.
Compliance support where the business has a foreign-investment or other cross-border element, including FEMA-related requirements and RBI filings connected with raising foreign direct investment.
Company-secretarial and regulatory support around a transaction — from getting records ready for compliance due diligence to completing the pre-closing and post-closing actions that follow a deal.
Support on the compliance mechanics around stock-option incentives and basic cap-table structuring, helping the company keep its equity records and related actions organised as it grows.

Does a Supervisory Role Make You an "Employer" Under the POSH Act?
Corporates & GCCs
Operate. Expand. Transform.
Comprehensive legal support. One continuing relationship.
A retainer is not a narrower legal service. It provides the same breadth of legal support on a continuing basis, rather than through separate engagements for each matter.
Vendor agreements, NDAs and employment paperwork drafted and reviewed as they come up, not stockpiled for a quarterly review.
Board resolutions, statutory filings, POSH compliance and ESOP administration — handled on schedule, not after the deadline.
Every acquisition, investment or exit gets counsel that already knows the business, not a new firm starting from zero.
