Overview
What is Company Registration?
Company registration is the legal process of incorporating a business entity under the Companies Act, 2013, registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). A registered company gets a unique Corporate Identity Number (CIN) and becomes a separate legal entity.
Registering your company provides legal recognition, limited liability protection, access to funding, and the ability to enter into contracts in the company's name. It is mandatory for businesses planning to raise investment, hire employees, or scale operations.
