Incorporation and Registration Services
Incorporation is the formal process of legally creating a corporate entity, making it a distinct entity from its owners. Once incorporated, a company is treated as an individual in the eyes of the law, endowed with many of the rights and responsibilities. Company registration in India is done under the provisions of Companies Act, 2013.

- Private limited company into Public limited (and vice-versa)
There are many Private limited companies in the Indian economy. But every one of them eventually wants to go public in order to scale more easily. Initial Public Offerings are an option that public limited companies provide (IPO), which is one major attractions.
The Central Government has the authority to approve conversions, freeing up the tribunals from handling conversion cases and making it easy for the companies themselves. Following that, the Central Government granted the Regional Director authority to approve the conversions through notification S.O. 6225 (E) dated December 18, 2018.
- Proprietorship concern & partnership firm into a company
One can change sole proprietorship into a company once the business is established and thriving. An agreement to sell the firm is often drafted between the Proprietorship and the Private Limited Company once it is incorporated.
- Limited Liability Partnership, and conversion thereof into a company
