CA for Startups & Founders
Incorporation, compliance and tax for early-stage and growth companies
End-to-end CA services for startups, founders and growth companies. From incorporation and Startup India recognition to annual ROC filings, investor compliance, ESOP accounting and Section 80-IAC tax exemption.
Challenges Startups & Founders face
Common tax and compliance pain points we solve.
Angel tax on investments
Startups receiving equity investment above fair market value face taxation under Section 56(2)(viib) — the 'angel tax'. DPIIT-registered startups are exempt but the process must be done correctly.
Missing ROC deadlines
Non-filing of MCA forms (AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-12) attracts ₹100/day penalties and company strike-off. Most founders don't track these deadlines.
ESOP valuation and accounting
ESOPs must be valued by a registered valuer, expensed in P&L under Ind AS 102, and employees pay tax at the time of exercise at marginal rates (except DPIIT startups with deferral).
Section 80-IAC tax holiday
Eligible DPIIT startups can claim 100% deduction on income for 3 consecutive years out of the first 10 years. This window is missed by startups that don't apply at the right time.
