Things every founder should know

Pvt Ltd has the highest compliance cost — factor ₹25,000–₹55,000/yr minimum into your business plan.
LLPs don't require a statutory audit below ₹40L annual turnover — a big saving vs Pvt Ltd.
OPC registration only below ₹2 Crore turnover and ₹50L capital. You'll need to convert after that.
GST registration is voluntary below ₹20L — but many B2B clients require it even below threshold.
