India Company Registration Services

Made up of 29 different states and 7 union territories, India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Doing business in India is not as daunting as it may sound, because English is widely accepted as a business language in the country. In addition to that, rising personal incomes have also created a new middle class consumer market, which holds a lot of potential who investors seeking an opportunity in this region.

Registering a company in India will come with some challenges which the investor should be prepared for. Among the challenges the investor is going to find themselves up against are the multiple religious, ethnic and annual variations in holiday timings. This means that investors would need to be aware when planning business meetings or trips because of the possible holidays that they may not be aware of.

There are also challenges with intellectual property and the risk of delays due to administrative requirements. Any time there is a delay in business, it is never a good thing so careful planning is needed on the part of the investor to take all of these into account before making the decision to venture into the Indian market.

Land acquisition can also prove to be a challenge in India, along with access to the right skills in the local workforce. Infrastructure challenges are also going to be a challenge for investors, especially in the distribution and logistics sector. And then there is the risk of bribery and corruption. Barriers to trade and investment in some sectors due to regulatory constraints, local sourcing requirements and import tariffs are also challenges that an investor interested in India would need to take into consideration.

Extremely hot and wet weather in the summer months and monsoon season could also inadvertently affect how a business performs during that time of the season.
