In India, entrepreneurs starting a new business can begin their company registration process with a “communication address” even before securing a permanent office. This temporary address helps you start the formalities while searching for the ideal premises. It’s essential to remember that within 30 days of incorporation, you need to establish a physical “registered office” in the same state and file Form INC-22 with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) to report the official address change.

Drafting of Memorandum & Articles of Association The Memorandum (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) are the fundamental legal documents for a company in India.
