Private Limited Companies are preferred for startups seeking VC/angel investment, as they can issue equity shares to investors. LLPs are better for professional services firms, consulting businesses and startups not planning external equity fundraising. MBOSS Lexon LLP advises on the optimal structure based on your specific growth plan.
DPIIT recognition is available to entities registered as companies, LLPs or registered partnerships with annual turnover below INR 100 crore, that are innovative or have high growth potential. Benefits include Section 80IAC tax exemption, Angel Tax relief, and fast-track patent examination. MBOSS Lexon LLP assists eligible startups through the recognition process.
A typical seed funding round requires: updated cap table, term sheet, subscription agreement, amended shareholders agreement, investor rights agreement, board and shareholder resolutions, and due diligence materials. MBOSS Lexon LLP prepares or reviews all these documents for seed-stage startups.
