The right structure depends on your funding plans, number of founders, and compliance appetite.
A Private Limited Company can typically be incorporated within 7–10 working days via the SPICe+ form on the MCA portal. An LLP via FiLLiP takes 5–10 working days. The timeline depends on name approval (1–2 days under RUN), DIN issuance, and ROC processing. Delays typically occur due to incomplete documentation or objections to the proposed company name.

FEMA regulations govern the investment, remittance of share capital, and annual RBI reporting requirements — all requiring careful CA guidance.
