Frequently Asked Questions
Should I incorporate as Pvt Ltd or LLP?
Pvt Ltd is preferred for startups seeking equity funding. LLP suits service-based businesses with 2+ partners not planning VC fundraising.
When should I formalize a founder agreement?
Before writing any code or making significant investments. A founder agreement prevents disputes and defines roles, equity, and IP ownership.
What is a SAFE note?
Simple Agreement for Future Equity — a convertible instrument that converts to equity at a future priced round, popular with early-stage startups.
