WHY KANCHIPURAM IS PERFECT FOR E-COMMERCE STARTUPS
Kanchipuram is one of the fastest-growing towns in Tamil Nadu. While it is world-famous for silk sarees, it is also developing a strong base in digital retail. With the rise of smartphone usage and cheaper data plans, consumers from Kanchipuram’s urban and semi-urban areas are regularly shopping online.
Local textile manufacturers, handloom weavers, rice mills, bronze artifact makers, and home-run food businesses have access to a wider audience through e-commerce. Starting your online business here gives you access to local goods that are in high demand across India and abroad.
The city is well-connected to Chennai by road and rail, providing access to courier networks and digital infrastructure. Logistics, warehousing, and technical support are all easily accessible, making Kanchipuram a strategic and cost-efficient location for e-commerce businesses.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT LEGAL STRUCTURE FOR YOUR E-COMMERCE BUSINESS
It is very important to select the right type of legal entity for your e-commerce business. This decision affects your tax benefits, business image, compliance, and scalability.
Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd)
This is the best option if you are planning to build a fast-growing e-commerce platform that may attract investors later. This structure gives your business a professional image, a separate legal identity, limited liability, and easy access to bank loans and funding.
One Person Company (OPC)
If you are starting your online business as a solo entrepreneur, an OPC is a great option. It gives you limited liability protection and a formal company status without requiring a second director or shareholder.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
If you are starting the business with one or more partners, you may choose an LLP. This is especially suitable for e-commerce businesses that follow a shared profit or marketplace model. LLPs offer more flexibility and less compliance than a private limited company.
STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS TO REGISTER AN E-COMMERCE COMPANY IN KANCHIPURAM
Step 1: Company Name Reservation
Start by choosing a unique and brand-friendly name for your e-commerce business. The name should reflect your products or values. At Filing Point, we help you check the availability and reserve the name through the MCA’s RUN or SPICe+ platform.
Step 2: Get Digital Signature Certificates (DSC)
All directors need a digital signature certificate to submit company documents online. DSCs are secured digital keys used to authenticate electronic forms. Filing Point helps you obtain DSCs quickly with the required documents.
Step 3: Apply for DIN (Director Identification Number)
Every director must have a DIN. This is done through the SPICe+ form. Filing Point handles this seamlessly for you, ensuring proper KYC and document submission.
Step 4: File SPICe+ Form
The SPICe+ form is a simplified and integrated form used for company registration. It also includes applications for PAN, TAN, and GST. Our experts will prepare the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) as per your business model and file the form with MCA.
Step 5: Receive Certificate of Incorporation
Once the application is verified and approved by the Registrar of Companies (RoC), you will receive the Certificate of Incorporation. This document is the official proof that your e-commerce company has been registered under the Companies Act.

Step 6: Open a Business Bank Account
With the Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, and other documents, you can open a current account in any bank. A dedicated business account is essential for receiving online payments, vendor payouts, and daily transactions.
Step 7: Register for GST
GST registration is mandatory for e-commerce businesses, even if your annual turnover is less than the threshold. Whether you sell on your own website or through platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, or Meesho, a valid GSTIN is required. Filing Point ensures a smooth and fast GST registration.

ADDITIONAL REGISTRATIONS (IF REQUIRED)
Udyam (MSME) Registration
This is useful for micro, small, and medium enterprises. It helps you access government subsidies, schemes, and bank loans. E-commerce businesses registered as MSMEs can enjoy financial benefits and tender preferences.
Import Export Code (IEC)
If you plan to sell products internationally through your website or on global marketplaces, you must apply for an Import Export Code. Filing Point can assist in obtaining IEC in a hassle-free manner.
