STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO REGISTERING YOUR ENGINEERING COMPANY

STEP 1: SELECT THE RIGHT LEGAL STRUCTURE

Your legal structure determines your ownership rights, taxation, funding scope, and liability protection. Filing Point helps assess your goals and choose one of the following:

Private Limited Company: Best for high-scale operations, component exports, or businesses needing funding. Offers limited liability and investor confidence.

One Person Company (OPC): Perfect for solo engineers or consultants starting small with a vision to scale. Allows 100% ownership with legal benefits.

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): Great for engineering service firms started by two or more professionals. Offers flexibility and limited liability.

STEP 2: CHOOSE A UNIQUE COMPANY NAME

Your company name should reflect industrial competence and credibility. Words like “Engineers,” “Automation,” “Systems,” or “Tech” work well.

• Ensure name availability on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal.
  
• Check domain availability for future website.
  
• Avoid infringing on existing trademarks.
  

We assist in searching, reserving, and approving your company name legally.

STEP 3: OBTAIN DIGITAL SIGNATURE (DSC) & DIRECTOR IDENTIFICATION (DIN)

• DSC is mandatory for filing online documents. Each director must have one.
  
• DIN is a unique ID assigned to every director of the company.
  

We help apply for DSC and DIN through government-approved agencies.

STEP 4: FILE INCORPORATION DOCUMENTS

The SPICe+ form is submitted on the MCA portal with the following:

• Identity and address proof of directors
  
• Office address proof (utility bill or rental agreement)
  
• NOC from landlord (if rented)
  
• MOA and AOA (Memorandum and Articles of Association)
  

Upon approval, you will receive your Certificate of Incorporation.

STEP 5: GET PAN & TAN FOR TAX PURPOSES

Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN) are issued for tax-related functions:

• PAN is needed for opening a bank account and IT filings.
  
• TAN is required for deducting TDS from salaries and vendor payments.
  

Filing Point handles PAN and TAN applications with zero errors.

STEP 6: REGISTER FOR GST

If your turnover exceeds the prescribed limit or you supply inter-state or B2B, GST is mandatory.

• Enables legal invoicing
  
• Input tax credit on machinery/raw materials
  
• Required for tendering and vendor registration
  

We ensure quick and compliant GST registration.

STEP 7: OBTAIN MSME (UDYAM) REGISTRATION

As an engineering startup, you qualify as a Micro, Small, or Medium Enterprise (MSME):

• Eligible for loans, subsidies, and tenders
  
• Priority sector lending from banks
  
• Free participation in CODISSIA expos
  
• Concessions on electricity and registration fees
  

We help register your company on the Udyam portal.

STEP 8: SECURE A PHYSICAL OFFICE OR FACTORY

Engineering companies require a registered address:

• Industrial units in SIDCO, Kurichi, Malumichampatti, or Kallapalayam
  
• Workshops near Eachanari or Perur for fabrication
  
• Commercial premises for consultancies near Avinashi Road
  

Your space should meet electricity, ventilation, water, and compliance requirements.

STEP 9: TRADEMARK YOUR BRAND

Protect your brand identity with trademark registration:

• Trademark your business name, logo, tagline
  
• Prevent copycats and legal infringement
  
• Add value to your company during expansion or acquisition

• List on industry directories like Indiamart, Justdial, and CODISSIA platforms

2. Factory License: If you employ more than 10 workers using power.
   
3. Pollution Control NOC: For units with welding, painting, or emissions.
   
4. Professional Tax: Required if you hire employees.
