Welcome to Nexora Consultant
The part of India entry that slows everyone down
We are a business consultancy in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Foreign companies, NRIs and Indian promoters arrive with the same question: what exactly do we need to register in India, and in what order?
The answer is rarely the same twice. A liaison office, a branch office and a wholly owned subsidiary each carry different permissions, tax positions and reporting duties. We work out which one fits how you actually earn — then do the filing work ourselves.
One team, one written scope, and a number a consultant answers.

What our clients say
Founders, finance directors and NRI investors on working with our team.
We had been quoted three different structures by three different firms. Nexora explained why a wholly owned subsidiary suited our revenue model and had the company incorporated without a single resubmission.
Our liaison office application involved a long documentation trail across two jurisdictions. The checklist we received was accurate on day one, which saved us weeks of back-and-forth with our bank.
As an NRI I was unsure how much I could invest and how profits would come back to me. The FEMA advisory note was clear enough that my bank accepted it without further questions.
Private limited registration, GST and IEC were handled together as one project. Having a single point of contact for all three made the launch far less stressful than we expected.
The entry strategy report gave our board exactly what it needed: the options, the compliance load of each, and an honest view of the timeline. We approved the India plan in one sitting.
Our trademark application had an objection from a previous consultant. Nexora took the file over, drafted the reply properly and kept us informed at every hearing stage.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what foreign companies, NRIs and Indian founders ask us most often. If your question is not here, send it across and we will answer it directly.
Can a foreign company own 100% of an Indian company?
In most sectors, yes. Foreign direct investment up to 100% is permitted under the automatic route in a large number of activities, meaning no prior government approval is required — only post-investment reporting to the Reserve Bank of India. Certain sectors carry equity caps or require government approval. We confirm your sector position before you commit funds.
What is the difference between a liaison office, a branch office and a subsidiary?
A liaison office may only represent the parent — it cannot earn income in India and is funded entirely by inward remittance. A branch office may carry out specified commercial activities and earn revenue, but remains part of the foreign parent. A wholly owned subsidiary is a separate Indian company with its own legal identity, the widest activity scope and the simplest long-term compliance path for most operating businesses.
How long does foreign company registration in India take?
Where documents are complete and properly attested, incorporation of a subsidiary typically completes in about two to four weeks. Liaison and branch office approvals run longer because they pass through an authorised dealer bank and the Reserve Bank of India. The single biggest variable is how quickly notarised and apostilled parent-company documents arrive from overseas.
What documents does a foreign parent company need to provide?
Generally the certificate of incorporation, charter documents, latest audited financial statements, a board resolution authorising the India entity, and identity and address proof for directors and authorised signatories. Documents executed outside India must be notarised and apostilled or consularised depending on the country. We issue a country-specific checklist at the start.
How many directors and shareholders does a Private Limited Company need?
A private limited company requires a minimum of two directors and two shareholders, and at least one director must be resident in India. Shareholders may be individuals or corporate bodies, and a foreign company can hold the shares subject to sectoral rules. There is no statutory minimum paid-up capital, though the capital should be realistic for your operations.
Do I need a physical office address in India to register a company?
Yes, a registered office address in India is mandatory, supported by a recent utility bill and a no-objection certificate from the owner. It does not need to be a large commercial space at the outset, but it must be a genuine address capable of receiving statutory correspondence.
When is GST registration compulsory?
GST registration becomes compulsory once turnover crosses the prescribed threshold for your state and category of supply, and immediately in certain cases regardless of turnover — including inter-state taxable supply, e-commerce operators and non-resident taxable persons. Many businesses also register voluntarily to claim input tax credit and to satisfy larger customers.
What is an Import Export Code and who needs one?
The Import Export Code is a business identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade. Any person or entity importing goods into or exporting goods from India must hold one, and banks require it to process trade remittances. The code is issued against a PAN and does not expire, although it must be updated annually to stay active.
