The region also has:

STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS TO REGISTER A FOOD COMPANY IN ERODE
Step 1: Choose a Business Name
Choose a unique name that reflects your brand identity (e.g., Erode Spices Co., TurmeriTaste Foods).
Filing Point helps you check and reserve names through MCA’s SPICe+ portal. A distinctive brand name will also support trademark registration later.
Step 2: Obtain DSC (Digital Signature Certificate)
Required for signing incorporation documents securely. Filing Point assists with issuing Class 3 DSCs for all directors.
Step 3: Apply for DIN (Director Identification Number)
DINs are issued during company incorporation. Filing Point ensures smooth DIN generation by validating PAN and Aadhaar.
Step 4: Draft MOA & AOA
The MOA (Memorandum of Association) must mention food processing, trading, packaging, and relevant services. Filing Point drafts these professionally and ensures AOA aligns with operational needs.
Step 5: File SPICe+ Form
This integrated form includes incorporation, PAN, TAN, and GST application. It eliminates the need for multiple filings. After approval, you will receive the Certificate of Incorporation.
Step 6: Open a Bank Account
A current account is essential for all business payments, purchases, and tax compliance. Most banks ask for COI, PAN, and board resolution.
Step 7: GST Registration
Mandatory for food product businesses that:
- Cross threshold limits (Rs. 20-40 Lakhs depending on location)
- Sell through e-commerce platforms (like Amazon or Swiggy)
- Operate in multiple states
Filing Point registers your company under the correct HSN codes and advises on invoicing formats.
Step 8: MSME (Udyam) Registration
Important for small food units to get benefits like:
- Subsidized loans
- Government tenders
- Participation in trade fairs
- Marketing assistance
Step 9: Trademark Registration
Protect your food brand name, logo, packaging design, and slogan. Filing Point applies under relevant food categories and monitors the status. Trademark registration also helps in Amazon Brand Registry and export labeling.
