Digital Marketing Industry in India – A Booming Opportunity
India is among the largest digital markets in the world. With over 800 million internet users, the digital marketing industry is expected to reach USD 24 billion by 2028. Businesses across sectors—real estate, ecommerce, retail, education, hospitality, and healthcare—are investing in digital campaigns to engage customers.
This rapid growth has led to the rise of top agencies like Webenza & Social Beat. They all began with a vision and a legally incorporated business structure. If you wish to build a similar legacy, proper company registration is your first move.

A digital marketing company deals with multiple clients, payment platforms, intellectual property, and collaborations. Therefore, choosing the right business structure helps protect your brand, reduce tax burdens, and attract clients.
Private Limited Company
This is the most recommended format for digital marketing agencies planning to scale or attract investment. It offers limited liability, professional image, and structured ownership.
One Person Company (OPC)
A solo digital marketer or consultant who works independently with clients can start with an OPC. It provides a legal identity while retaining full control.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
If you are starting a firm with a co-founder or marketing partner, LLP is ideal. It provides legal protection, operational flexibility, and simplified taxation.
At Filing Point, we do not recommend starting your business as a Sole Proprietorship, Public Limited Company, or relying on Doorstep DSC or Shops & Establishment License. These are outdated for digital startups and may lead to unnecessary compliance issues later.
Step-by-Step Process to Register a Digital Marketing Company in India
Step 1: Decide on the Business Structure
Choose between Private Limited, OPC, or LLP based on your plans, scale, and future goals. Filing Point helps you select the most beneficial option through expert consultation.
Step 2: Reserve Your Company Name
Your brand identity starts with a name. It must be unique, easy to remember, and legally available. We check for availability on the MCA portal and file SPICe+ Part A for name approval.
Step 3: Obtain Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
Each director or partner needs a DSC to digitally sign documents. Our team completes this process fully online—no need for in-person meetings.
Step 4: Apply for Director Identification Number (DIN)
Your DIN is a mandatory requirement. Filing Point prepares and files your DIN application while ensuring all your documents are correctly submitted.
Step 5: Prepare MOA and AOA
We draft your Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) specifically for digital marketing services. These define your objectives and internal governance rules.
Step 6: File SPICe+ Part B and Incorporation Forms
This final step includes company incorporation, along with:
- PAN and TAN issuance
- PF and ESI registrations
- GST registration (if required)
After submission, the Registrar of Companies (ROC) approves your company, and you receive your Certificate of Incorporation, CIN, PAN, and TAN.
Opening a Current Account in the Company’s Name
After incorporation, you must open a current account in your company’s name to receive client payments, pay vendors, and manage your business finances. Filing Point provides the necessary documents and supports account opening with your preferred bank.
Registering Your Agency under MSME (Udyam)
Even digital marketing businesses can benefit from being classified as Micro, Small, or Medium Enterprises (MSME). With MSME registration, your company can:
- Apply for collateral-free loans
- Get preference in tenders
- Avail of tax rebates
- Receive marketing subsidies
Filing Point completes your Udyam registration so that your digital agency qualifies for all government benefits.
Import Export Code (IEC) for Global Clients
If your company works with foreign clients, handles international affiliate marketing, or sells courses globally, you need an Import Export Code (IEC). It is essential for sending or receiving payments internationally.
We apply for your IEC from DGFT and ensure you’re ready to serve global markets legally.
GST Registration for Digital Marketing Businesses
A digital marketing agency must register for GST if its turnover exceeds ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs for NE states) or if it serves clients across states. GST registration allows you to:
- Issue GST-compliant invoices
- Claim Input Tax Credit
- Improve your credibility with clients
Filing Point helps you obtain GST registration and file monthly/quarterly returns so your business remains fully compliant.

Post-Incorporation Compliance – Stay Legally Strong
After incorporation, your company must follow certain regulatory filings to stay active:
ROC Filings
These include:
- AOC-4 for financial statements
- MGT-7 for annual returns
- ADT-1 for auditor appointment
- DIR-3 KYC for verifying director identity
Our experts ensure timely submissions to the Registrar of Companies.
Accounting and Bookkeeping
Digital agencies often receive payments from multiple sources—clients, platforms, affiliate programs, or course sales. Filing Point offers professional accounting services for:
- Income tracking
- Vendor payments
- Profit and loss statements
- Tax computation

Some of India’s most successful digital agencies started small but built their credibility through proper registration and compliance:
- Social Beat – Started in Chennai, now a leading name in performance marketing
- Webenza – Known for social media marketing and analytics.
With proper registration, these companies secured large clients, partnered with MNCs, and scaled operations successfully.
