IncorpX Free Beginner India

The rare guide written specifically for D2C founders rather than generic startups, it walks through incorporation, GST, trademark and product licenses as one connected checklist instead of siloed topics.

  • Maps out the full registration stack a D2C brand needs, not just incorporation
  • Explains why payment gateways and logistics partners expect a Pvt Ltd/LLP
  • Flags category-specific licenses (FSSAI/CDSCO/BIS) early

It answers 5 questions

  1. I'm just starting out, should I register as a proprietorship, LLP, or private limited company?
  2. Should I trademark my brand name before I even launch, or can it wait till I have traction?
  3. I'm a solo founder with no co-founder, does an OPC (One Person Company) make more sense than an LLP?
  4. Beyond incorporation, what other registrations do I actually need before I can legally take my first order?
  5. Why do Razorpay/Cashfree keep asking for a company, can't I just use my personal bank account?
