href=\"https:\/\/www.bbnc.in\/services\/Foreign-Subsidiary-Company.php\">incorporate a subsidiary company in India<\/a>. there are certain steps and documents required that need to be followed.<\/p>\n<p>There are two entity types that a foreign company can incorporate into its subsidiary, 1. Public Limited Company, 2. Private limited company.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbnc.in\/services\/public-limited-company.php\">public limited company<\/a> is mostly chosen by big companies, whose presence is in more than 20 countries. Public limited companies need to follow the strict guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and other government bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Private limited companies, on the other hand, have low compliances and regulations compared to Public limited companies, hence most of the foreign companies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbnc.in\/services\/private-limited-company.php\">incorporate private limited companies in India<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbnc.in\/blog\/setting-up\/foreign-subsidiary-company-registration-in-india\/\">Process of Foreign Subsidiary Company Registration in India<\/a> \u2013 In this article we have given the complete process of incorporation as well as documents required for the same.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Acquire An Existing Company in India:<\/h3>\n<p>This is the quickest method to start any business operations in India. If you have gone through the above-mentioned article, you would understand that there are many processes that need to be completed before you start the Indian operations.<\/p>\n<p>Such as, opening a bank account after incorporation, completing the RBI Filings, getting the required licenses, etc. which would take at least a month to start the operations.<\/p>\n<p>But, by acquiring an existing company you can start the operations immediately once the process of share transfer is completed.<\/p>\n<p>Finding a company to acquire is a hectic process, but in India, there are many companies, whose company status is dormant, or they started a company to start their business, but things didn\u2019t work out as per their plans.<\/p>\n<p>You can acquire these companies, doing a simple share transfer from the promoters of the company.<\/p>\n<p>Once the company is acquired, you can start your operations and other processes such as change of directors, changing the name of the company, or altering the MOA and AOA of the company can be parallel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The disadvantage of this process:<\/strong> it can be costly, and it is hard to find a company that operates in the same industry, same state and is un-operational.<\/p>\n<p>If you need help with either of the above-mentioned processes, feel free to write to us at <a href=\"mailto:info@bbnc.in\">info@bbnc.in<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbnc.in\/contact-us.php\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-433-0-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Having_a_Wholly_Owned_Subsidiary_in_India\"><\/span>Advantages of Having a Wholly Owned Subsidiary in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Distinct Legal Entity<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A company is a corporation that possesses the numerous capacities of a person in the eyes of law. It owns assets, incurs debts and is capable of holding legal positions. A company\u2019s shareholders aren't liable for its liabilities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>Borrowing Capacity<\/h4>\n<p>A company enjoys more ways of lending. It can issue debentures and either have them be secured or not. It may also accept deposits from the public, as well as banks and auto financiers. These usually behave favourably when providing loans to businesses.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>Share Transferability<\/h4>\n<p>A shareholder has permission to transfer his or her shares to any other person by simply filing a share transfer form.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>Limited Liability<\/h4>\n<p>Limited Liability means that members are liable for certain debts. The limited company has a number of benefits including the fact that it can be easier to raise money because of the limited liability status. Fewer risks, more opportunities!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>Continuous Existence<\/h4>\n<p>A company, as a separate legal entity, is unaffected by the departure or death of any individual member. This means that when a founder leaves an organization, they are not taking their knowledge with them - because all information remains with the \"company\" and cannot be transferred to another person because it is the company that matters.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>Foreign Direct Investment<\/h4>\n<p>100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment is allowed in many of the sectors through Company type business entities without any prior Government approval. FDI is not allowed in Proprietorship or Partnership, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbnc.in\/services\/limited-liability-partnership.php\">LLP<\/a> requires prior Government approval.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>Owning Property<\/h4>\n<p>A company is a separate legal entity that can own, buy and sell property in its name. No shareholder may have any claim on the property so long as the company is a functioning concern.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>Capacity to sue and be sued<\/h4>\n<p>To sue means to bring a lawsuit in a court of law. A court is an authority your case is heard when one person sues someone else. As an independent legal entity, a company has the right to sue or be sued in its own name.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here is an article that will help you understand the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbnc.in\/blog\/setting-up\/benefits-of-subsidiary-company-formation-vs-offshore-development-center-in-india\/\">benefits of subsidiary company formation over an offshore development centre in India<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-433-0-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Investment_Entry_Routes_in_India\"><\/span>Investment Entry Routes in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The initial investment in both the processes be it incorporation of a subsidiary company or acquiring an existing company and making it a subsidiary company will be treated as a Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the company.<\/p>\n<p>There are two routes to accept foreign direct investment in India.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3>Automatic Route:<\/h3>\n<p>When the business activity of the subsidiary company falls under the sector where 100% FDI is allowed. It shall fall under the automatic route. This means Sectors in which 100% FDI is allowed do not require prior approval from the government or reserve bank of India.<\/p>\n<p>The company needs to notify the RBI within 30 days of receipt of inward remittance and file the required documents within 30 days of the issue of shares.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Government Approval Route:<\/h3>\n<p>If the business activity of the subsidiary company falls under the sector where 100% FDI is not allowed under the automatic route, then applications from these entities falling under this category require prior approval from the government.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Most of the sectors in India fall under automatic routes.
