  • Why Is A Startup Registration Consultant Required?

    Why Is A Startup Registration Consultant Required?

    If you own a startup then one of the important parts is the business incorporation/registration process. You will have to first decide the type of business structure before registering it. You can choose a business structure from a partnership, sole proprietorship, LLP, or a Pvt. Ltd. Company depending on the type of your business. 

    When you register your company you get limited liability, tax benefits, a legal existence for the company, and regulatory compliances. Company incorporation consultants can help you select the right business structure and help you register your company. Not registering your company can lead to legal issues and unnecessary delays. Depending on the tax implications and your business goals the consultant can help you decide the best business structure for your startup.

    The consultants are well-versed in the regulations, legal procedures, and documentation required for registering a company. The consultants can ensure that your company follows all the laws and rules and thus avoid any legal issues in the future. The consultants can handle all the registration-related tasks and this will give you time to focus on your company.

    Benefits of hiring a business registration consultant

    Hiring a registration consultant will bring many benefits to your startup. They can help you understand and follow the registration process and this will help you save time and effort. They can offer you a wealth of knowledge and experience about the laws and regulations. 

    The consultant will also be aware of the changes in the laws and they can help you ensure that your company is always compliant. They can help to manage your documentation and taxes and keep you organised from the beginning.

    If you try to handle the registration process yourself it can get complex and time-consuming. If you are not aware of the business laws and bureaucracy then it is best to hire a consultant. A business consultant will have the expertise to help you navigate through the process easily. They can ensure that all the paperwork is done accurately and submitted on time. It will also help to eliminate the risk of error.

    How to choose the right business registration consultant?

    When you choose a business registration consultant you should consider their knowledge of the local and international laws, experience and reputation. You should try to find consultants who have handled businesses like yours before as this will help them understand your unique needs. You should make sure that they communicate clearly and are willing to offer services depending on your requirements. You can verify their credentials and find the testimonials of past clients. 

    Many startups have benefited from hiring business registration services over the years. Hiring a consultant and getting your business registered can ensure that your business is protected legally and promotes growth.

    For startups, the main focus is on the products and the marketing strategies. But they should not overlook the registration process. This is where you should hire a business registration consultant to help you register your company. You should protect your inventions, trademarks and intellectual property assets to maintain competitive advantage.

    Right from deciding the business structure to the registration of the company consultants can help you. They can give you advice based on your business needs and help you select the best business structure. If you decide on an LLP then the consultant will help you to register it and get the benefits. The consultant will help you navigate the process of LLP registration in India. You will be able to get your LLP registered in a few days and avoid any legal issues.

    When you register your LLP it will get a legal existence. The documents that are required for registration are identification proof, address proof, name of the LLP, operational scope and others. However, this may differ as per the different business structures and local regulations. Failure to register your LLP can lead to penalties and legal issues. It may also affect your ability to conduct your business.

    Conclusion

    You may have built your startup which may have been challenging enough but you should not forget to select the right business structure and register your company. By hiring the right business registration consultants you can ensure you get a good start and become successful.

  • Naturals Now and Singapore Tourism Board partner for pandan-flavoured sundae

    Naturals Now and Singapore Tourism Board partner for pandan-flavoured sundae

    Mumbai: Singapore is home to a famously diverse dining culture and nightlife reflective of the city’s multicultural heritage and ceaseless innovation. Over the past year, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has been introducing Indian audiences to the island city’s food culture as part of a gastronomical series called ‘Taste Obsession.’ Adding another chapter to the series, STB has partnered with artisanal ice cream parlour, Naturals Now, to launch a limited-edition pandan-infused ice cream sundae from the soul of Singapore to the heart of Mumbai.

    The inspiration for the sundae came about as a result of a culinary journey to Singapore undertaken earlier this year by Siddhant Kamath, director, Naturals Ice Cream. Multiple visits to the city’s many fresh produce markets and Singapore’s most prominent ice cream institutions, like Apiary and Birds of Paradise, inspired Siddhant to bring the taste of Singapore’s unique flavours and food-obsessed spirit to India.

    Singapore’s culinary scene reflects the city’s culturally diverse roots. From Michelin-star restaurants to street eats, Singapore’s dining landscape offers something for every palate. Pandan is one of the unique and authentic Singaporean ingredients used in local cuisine. Known for its aromatic leaves, the iconic herb has a distinctively sweet fragrance that complements the dish it is infused with. The newly introduced sundae combines pandan with jaggery, a layer of coconut, and a sprinkling of thyme waffle crumbs. Additionally, a topping sauce infused with gula melaka, a particularly nutty, smoky Southeast Asian coconut palm jaggery, creates an iconic Singaporean taste experience for Mumbai foodies. This limited-edition ice cream sundae is available only at Naturals Now in Juhu from 7 November to 31 December 2023.
