India Market Entry Services
Regitrust helps Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, China, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, South Korea, export-led brands, SaaS teams, consultants, and international companies plan India entry with entity setup, GST, IEC, import-export compliance, contracts, taxation, accounting, payroll, trademark protection, and recurring compliance coordination.
Not the Right Fit
Basic Indian local shop licences, tiny one-time registrations, and low-scope filings are not the focus of this market-entry track.
Scope Review
We check ownership, resident director needs, documents, GST, IEC, banking readiness, contracts, tax, and first-year compliance before quoting.
Setup Track
Entity selection, company registration, registered office, PAN/TAN, GST, IEC, bank readiness, and first compliance calendar.
Operating Track
Contracts, invoices, GST returns, import/export documentation, payroll, accounting, tax, and recurring compliance management.
Risk Track
FEMA awareness, product approvals, trademark protection, notices, due diligence, and compliance cleanup before scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an overseas founder own shares in an Indian company?
Ownership planning depends on structure, sector, foreign investment rules, resident director needs, documents, and banking requirements.
Do I need IEC for cross-border business?
IEC is commonly required for import/export of goods and may be relevant for some cross-border business flows. GST, LUT, banking, and FEMA records may also matter.
Can Regitrust handle ongoing compliance after setup?
Yes. ROC, GST, tax, accounting, payroll, notices, contracts, and compliance management can be handled separately after scope review.
