Register your company in days. Stay compliant for years.
FOGS Business Setup takes you from idea to incorporation to your first audit — Private Limited, LLP, OPC and every licence in between — then keeps you compliant through the FOGS ecosystem as you hire, pay and grow your team.
This Month, Across FOGS Business Setup
Not sure which structure fits? Answer two questions.
This gives you a starting recommendation in seconds — our advisors confirm the final structure on your free call.
Private Limited is the standard structure for founders planning to raise funding, issue ESOPs or bring on co-founders with defined equity.
One partner, not a stack of vendors
Most registration services stop at the incorporation certificate. We stay on as your compliance and growth partner.
Filings that don't come back rejected
CA- and CS-reviewed paperwork before anything reaches the MCA or GST portal, so first-time approval is the norm, not the exception.
A compliance calendar from day one
Every registration comes with a due-date tracker for ROC filings, tax returns and renewals — no more discovering a deadline after it's passed.
Built to plug into the FOGS ecosystem
Your new company connects directly to FOGS HR, Hire Forge, Payroll Forge and Legal Forge the moment you're ready to hire.
A named advisor, not a ticket queue
One consultant owns your account from the first call through your first annual filing — no re-explaining your business to a new agent each time.
Government fees shown upfront
Professional fees and statutory government fees are quoted separately, before you pay anything — no bundled surprises.
Pan-India, state-aware compliance
Shops & Establishments rules, professional tax and labour welfare fund contributions vary by state — our team tracks the differences for you.
From idea to a fully compliant, growing business
Each stage connects to a dedicated FOGS service — you can start anywhere and we'll pick up from there.
Idea & Structure Selection

Popular with consultancies →One Person Company (OPC)
Limited liability for solo founders who want a corporate structure without bringing in a second shareholder.
Built for solo founders →Partnership Firm
A straightforward structure for two or more partners running a business together under a registered partnership deed.
Sole Proprietorship
The fastest way to start trading under your own name, with minimal registration formalities to begin.
Section 8 Company
For non-profits and social enterprises that need a formal corporate structure to receive grants and donations.
