Usually 15 to 30 business days. The main factors are how quickly apostilled documents from the parent company are available and whether the proposed name is approved first time.
Yes. Every Indian company must have at least one director who stayed in India for 182 days or more in the previous calendar year. If you do not have one, Octagona can provide a resident director.
A subsidiary is a separate Indian company with limited liability. A branch office is an extension of the foreign parent, needs RBI approval and can only carry out permitted activities. We help you choose based on your activities, tax position and exit plans.
Yes. We coordinate KYC for foreign directors with the bank, prepare the documents and act as the local intermediary so the account can be opened with minimal travel.
A company with no assets or liabilities can be struck off under Fast Track Exit; otherwise it goes through voluntary liquidation. A branch office is closed through an RBI closure application. We manage the whole process, including tax clearances and surrender of registrations.
