Company Registration

What is Company Registration?

Company registration is the legal process of forming a business entity under the Companies Act. It gives a business official legal recognition and allows it to operate as a registered company with separate legal identity.

A registered company can open a business bank account, enter legal contracts, raise investment, and conduct business activities under government recognition. It also helps build trust among customers, investors, and financial institutions.
