How does the online company registration process work?

You start by submitting your basic business and director details through our online form. We then review the documents, check the proposed name and structure, prepare the filing, and submit the application. Once approved, you receive your incorporation documents and can move to the next compliance steps.

What types of business registrations do you support?

We support a range of business setup services, including company registration, LLP registration, partnership registration, proprietorship-related registrations, Udyam/MSME registration, GST registration, and trademark filing. Our team reviews your details first so we can guide you toward the most suitable structure.

How long does company registration usually take?

The timeline depends on the business structure and how quickly the required documents are submitted. In most cases, company registration is completed within a few working days after document review, name approval, and filing, subject to government processing time.

How much does private limited company registration cost in Kerala?

Blackridge charges ₹16,000 all-inclusive for Kerala, covering name approval, two digital signatures, MOA/AOA, PAN, TAN, EPF/ESI registration, and ROC fees up to ₹3,025. No hidden charges.

How many days does it take to register a Pvt Ltd company in Kochi?

Typically 7–10 working days once documents are complete, depending on MCA name approval and ROC processing time.

A minimum of two directors and two shareholders (which can be the same people). At least one director must be a resident of India.

What is a Private Limited Company?

A private limited company is a business structure registered under the Companies Act, 2013 with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It is treated as a separate legal entity from its founders — meaning the company can own property, enter contracts, and take on debt in its own name, while shareholders' personal assets stay protected beyond the value of their shares.

This structure is the most preferred choice for startups, growing businesses, and any founder planning to raise funding, because it offers:

Limited liability — your personal assets are shielded from business debts
Separate legal entity — the company exists independently of its owners
Perpetual succession — the company continues even if ownership changes
Easier fundraising — investors and banks trust the formal corporate structure
Minimum 2, maximum 200 shareholders, with at least one resident Indian director
