Starting or formalising a small business in India comes with a handful of registrations, and it isn’t always obvious which ones you need.
This service starts with a quick check of what applies to your business, then handles each registration on the official portal with a clear checklist. No unnecessary registrations, and no fees for things that are free.
Who it’s for
- Shop owners, traders and service providers starting out, or making their business official
- Small businesses that need Udyam (MSME) registration for loans, tenders or government schemes
- Businesses that deduct TDS and need a TAN
- Anyone unsure which registrations actually apply to them
What’s included
- A quick check of which registrations your business actually needs, and which it doesn't
- Udyam (MSME) registration on the official government portal, and updating an existing registration
- TAN application for businesses and employers that need to deduct TDS
- GST registration, handled through the GST service, with the same checklist-first approach
- Guidance on state-level registrations such as shop and establishment licence or professional tax, where they apply
Scope is agreed with you before work starts. Anything outside it is quoted separately.

Please don’t send PAN, Aadhaar or other documents through the website form. Share them on WhatsApp or in person once you decide to go ahead.
Process and timeline
Step 1: Quick check
Tell me about the business. You get a short list of the registrations that apply and what each involves.
Step 2: Documents
A checklist is shared for each registration, so everything is ready in one go.
Step 3: Applied on the official portal
Applications are made on the official government portals. Any government fee is paid by you directly.
Step 4: Certificates delivered
You get the registration certificate or number, plus a note of any renewals or follow-up filings it brings.
Typical timeline. Udyam registration is often completed the same day. TAN usually takes around a week or two. GST registration timelines depend on verification by the department.
Pricing: On request
The fee depends on your case: how many income sources or invoices there are, how organised the documents are and how often the work repeats. Share a few details and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Questions about Business registrations
Is Udyam registration free?
Yes. Udyam registration is free on the official government portal. Be careful of look-alike websites that charge for it. Any fee for this help is quoted separately and upfront.
Do I need GST registration?
It depends on your turnover, what you sell and where you sell. See the GST registration page, or send a message for a quick check.
Can you help with licences like FSSAI or trade licence?
Ask about your specific case. If it is outside what is offered, you'll be told so and pointed to the right official source.
