Why Choose a Private Limited Company?

Foreign nationals may operate in India only through a Private Limited Company or an LLP. Under FEMA regulations, proprietorships and partnership firms are not permitted. Although LLPs allow FDI, their tax rate is higher. A Private Limited Company offers the most scalable, tax-efficient, and compliant structure for foreign investors.
