Why Startups Trust VakeelSaab

A startup faces many legal hurdles, from incorporation and funding to protecting its ideas and staying compliant. VakeelSaab corporate lawyers have worked with many startup founders just like you, and know how important it is to have a trusted legal partner who understands startups inside out.

Here are some important stages VakeelSaab consults you in:

1.Incorporation of the company
2.DPIIT registration / UDYAM registration / MSME registration
3.Company structuring / founder agreements / compliances
4.Shareholders / founders / share subscription agreements
5.IPR protection

Incorporation of the Company

This is the first legal step - officially registering your business. We help you choose the best structure for your startup:

• • Private Limited Company
• • Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
• • One Person Company (OPC)

Then we take care of the complete process:

• • Checking and getting your company name approved
• • Preparing the main documents (Memorandum & Articles of Association)
• • Filing all forms with the government (SPICe+)
• • Getting your Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, and TAN
• • Helping you open the company bank account afterwards

We do it properly so there are no delays or problems later.

DPIIT Recognition (Startup India Benefits)

DPIIT recognition officially identifies a business as a startup under the Government of India guidelines. It offers several practical benefits:

• • Confirms your startup’s recognition under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT)
• • Helps startups access government benefits such as tax exemptions and startup-related schemes
• • Allows reduced compliance requirements during the early stages of the business
• • Improves eligibility for government tenders and funding opportunities
• • Supports faster processing of intellectual property applications

We take care of the complete DPIIT application process, checking eligibility, preparing documents, and making sure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to.

DIR-8 & DIR-12: Keeping Director Records in Order

These are small but very important annual and event-based filings under the Companies Act, 2013:

• • DIR-8: Every director must file this declaration confirming they are not disqualified.
• • DIR-12: Filed with the ROC within 30 days for any change in appointment, resignation, or update in director details.

We handle filings accurately, so you never face penalties or compliance issues.

Notices for AGM & EGM

Every company must hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) within six months of the financial year-end, and call an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) whenever important decisions need shareholder approval.

VakeelSaab corporate lawyers prepare everything you need:

• • Clear, legally compliant notices
• • Resolutions and explanatory statements
• • Minutes of the meeting
• • Timely filings with the Registrar of Companies

So your meetings are professionally documented.

Udyam Registration (MSME Benefits)

Registering your startup as a Micro, Small, or Medium Enterprise (MSME) through Udyam opens access to a wide range of government support schemes. You’ll benefit from:

• • Priority lending and collateral-free loans
• • Protection against delayed payments from buyers
• • Subsidies on patent, trademark, and design registrations
• • Preference in government tenders and procurement

We assist with the online Udyam registration and help you make the most of these advantages.

Company Structuring / Founder Agreements / Compliances

After your company is registered, you need clear rules inside the company - especially between founders. We help you create simple, fair agreements and set up basic systems:

• • Founders’ Agreement - who owns how much, who does what work, what happens if someone wants to leave, how shares will be given over time (vesting)
• • Basic employment letters for early team members
• • Simple NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) to protect your ideas
• • Setting up proper board meetings and company records
• • Helping you follow the most important annual compliances

Having these things in place early avoids fights and confusion later - and makes your company look more serious to investors.

Shareholders / Founders / Share Subscription Agreements

When founders put money or effort into the company, or when early investors give money, you need clear written agreements. We prepare easy-to-understand documents that protect everyone:

• • Share Subscription Agreements: show how much money someone is investing and how many shares they get
• • Founders’ contribution records: clearly notes what each founder is bringing (cash or work)
• • Shareholders’ Agreement: explains who can make decisions, how shares can be sold, what happens when new investors come in, and basic exit rules

These papers ensure everyone knows the deal and help during investor background checks.

Protecting Your Ideas with IPR

Your startup’s intellectual property - brand name, logo, software, product design, or invention - is often its most valuable asset. Strong IPR protection prevents copying, increases valuation, attracts investors, and gives legal advantages.

We guide you through:

• • Trademark registration for your brand
• • Patent filing for innovations
• • Copyright protection for software and content
• • Design registration for unique product appearances

With government schemes for startups, you can also get faster processing and significant fee reductions.
