Business Registration
When brand money starts arriving, "I'll figure out the business stuff later" gets expensive. We help you pick the right structure, register it, and get GST sorted — sized to where your creator business actually is.
When you need this
- Brand deals want to pay a business entity, or ask for GST invoices.
- Your creator income is approaching the GST registration threshold.
- You're hiring editors or a team and want liability separation.
- You're raising money, selling merch, or building products beyond ad revenue.
- You're not sure whether you even need to register anything yet.
What we do
- Honest structure advice: many creators don't need a Pvt Ltd yet — we'll tell you if a sole proprietorship or LLP fits your stage better.
- End-to-end registration: LLP or Private Limited incorporation, or proprietorship registrations (MSME/Udyam, current account documentation).
- GST registration and guidance — including the export-of-services treatment that often applies to AdSense and foreign brand income.
- Post-registration starter kit: invoicing format, basic compliance calendar, and what your accountant will need.
- Contracts that follow incorporation: founder agreements for creator collectives, and employment/freelancer agreements for your team.

Good to know
GST registration becomes mandatory for service providers at ₹20 lakh aggregate annual turnover (₹10 lakh in special-category states) — brand-deal income counts.
AdSense and many foreign-brand payments can qualify as export of services — potentially zero-rated under GST with an LUT filed, but you must be registered and file correctly to benefit.
A Pvt Ltd brings credibility and investability, but also ROC filings, audits and higher running costs — it's the right tool at the right stage, not a status symbol.
An LLP gives liability protection with lighter compliance than a Pvt Ltd — often the sweet spot for established solo creators and duos.
Frequently asked
Do I need to register a company to earn from YouTube or brand deals?
No — you can legally earn as an individual (effectively a sole proprietor). Registration becomes worth it when GST applies, brands want to contract with an entity, you're hiring, or you want liability separation. We'll tell you honestly if you don't need it yet.
When do I need GST as a creator?
When your aggregate turnover from services — brand deals, AdSense, memberships, and more — crosses ₹20 lakh in a financial year (₹10 lakh in special-category states). Some creators register earlier voluntarily because brands prefer GST invoices and input credits.
Is AdSense income really "export of services"?
Payments from Google's overseas entity generally qualify as export of services, which is zero-rated under GST — meaning with GST registration and an LUT filed, you charge 0% while staying compliant. The paperwork has to be right; that's exactly what we set up.
LLP or Pvt Ltd — which one for a creator?
As a rule of thumb: LLP for liability protection with low compliance; Pvt Ltd if you'll raise investment, issue ESOPs, or build a media company with a team. In a discovery call we map this to your actual numbers and plans.
