INTRODUCTION
Hosur, near Bengaluru, is becoming a hotspot for food businesses due to its growing population and rising demand for quality food products. Whether launching a bakery, packaged food brand, or tiffin service, legal registration is essential for building trust and scaling operations. Filing Point offers expert support to register food companies in Hosur, handling everything from setup to post-registration compliance.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT LEGAL STRUCTURE FOR YOUR FOOD BUSINESS
The structure of your business affects ownership, taxation, funding opportunities, and compliance. Depending on whether you are a solo chef, a partnership, or a company planning to scale, the right format must be selected.
Private Limited Company
This is ideal for businesses planning to set up manufacturing units, food processing plants, or cloud kitchens. It gives better credibility, allows external funding, and suits companies with long-term growth goals.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
This is suitable for food distribution partners, restaurant owners, or catering groups who want to start with fewer legal formalities but still enjoy limited liability and a professional structure.
One Person Company (OPC)
Perfect for solo entrepreneurs such as home bakers, chefs, and tiffin service providers. OPC helps you run the business as a single owner while still enjoying the benefits of a company.
Filing Point helps you choose the right structure by understanding your food business model and guiding you accordingly.
SELECTING AND REGISTERING YOUR BRAND NAME
Your food company’s name is your identity. It must be unique, easy to pronounce, and related to your products or values. Good names like “Hosur Treats”, “FarmBite Foods”, or “SnackNest India” give an instant idea of what your business offers.
We at Filing Point:
- Check the MCA portal to ensure your name is available.
- Reserve your name legally under your chosen company format.
- Check domain name availability for your website.
- Help you secure matching social media handles.
Once the name is finalized, we proceed to reserve and protect it legally.
LEGAL INCORPORATION USING SPICe+
To register your company, we use the MCA SPICe+ process. This form combines several steps into one simple process.
We take care of the following:
- Getting a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for the director(s)
- Applying for Director Identification Number (DIN)
- Submitting the incorporation application
- Receiving your Certificate of Incorporation
- Applying for PAN and TAN
Once your company is incorporated, you can legally sell products, sign contracts, apply for licenses, and open a business bank account.
SETTING UP YOUR BUSINESS LOCATION IN HOSUR
Even if your food business is online or home-based, you need a physical address to register the company. This address will be used for legal notices and government correspondence.
You can use:
- A commercial kitchen
- A storage facility
- Your home (in case of small-scale setups)
- A shared working space or rental property
Key business zones in Hosur include:
- SIPCOT Industrial Estate
- Bagalur Road

GST REGISTRATION FOR FOOD BUSINESSES
Any food company that sells across states or supplies through third-party platforms like Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon, or BigBasket must get GST registered.
GST registration allows you to:
- Issue tax-compliant invoices
- Claim input credit on packaging and logistics
- Sell products across India legally
- Get accepted by distributors and e-commerce platforms
Filing Point makes the GST process simple. We check your documents, prepare your application, and track the registration until you receive your GSTIN.
MSME (UDYAM) REGISTRATION FOR FOOD STARTUPS
Many food businesses qualify for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) benefits. With Udyam registration, you can:
- Apply for collateral-free loans
- Receive subsidies for food processing, refrigeration, and warehousing
- Participate in government procurement programs
- Get support for marketing and packaging
Filing Point registers your food business under Udyam and informs you about sector-specific schemes.
TRADEMARK REGISTRATION TO PROTECT YOUR BRAND
A strong food brand needs strong protection. Without a trademark, others may copy your name, logo, or packaging style.
Trademark registration covers:
- Brand names
- Logos
- Slogans
- Unique packaging or recipe names
Filing Point:
- Identifies the correct trademark class for food businesses
- Applies for the trademark
- Follows up on the status
- Handles objections, if any arise
This ensures your brand remains unique and legally secure.
FOOD SAFETY AND ADDITIONAL REGISTRATIONS (IF NEEDED)
For food businesses, FSSAI registration is mandatory in most cases. It allows you to manufacture, distribute, and sell food legally. Depending on your business size, you will need either a basic, state, or central FSSAI registration.
Filing Point will:
- Prepare your FSSAI application
- Submit your documents
- Get your food safety registration certificate
You may also need:
- IEC code (if you plan to export food products)
- Import permissions for ingredients or packaging
- Factory license (if setting up a manufacturing plant)
We help you identify what is needed and handle the paperwork smoothly.
ONGOING COMPLIANCE FOR FOOD COMPANIES
After registration, you must maintain your legal compliance every month or year. Filing Point offers compliance packages that cover:
- ROC Annual Return Filings
- GST monthly or quarterly returns
- Income Tax Return (ITR) filing
- TDS and Professional Tax compliance
- Digital accounting and inventory management
- Statutory audits (if applicable)
By staying compliant, your business avoids penalties and builds long-term trust with investors and partners.
