Business & Startup

Partnership deeds, NDAs, founder agreements, website policies and registrations.

Starting or running a small business? Partnership deeds, NDAs, founder and vendor agreements, website policies and basic registrations belong here. Most agreements and policies cost ₹199–₹999 and are drafted in 1–3 working days. Registrations vary: GST and MSME/Udyam are usually quick and low-cost, while company or LLP incorporation carries government fees and takes a couple of weeks. Getting the paperwork right early prevents expensive disputes later. Use the guides below to see what your business needs, then get a document drafted or talk to a lawyer free on WhatsApp.

Founders' Agreement for Startups — Equity Split, Vesting and Exit Clauses That Matter

A founders' agreement fixes what co-founders fight about: equity split, vesting (typically 4 years with a 1-year cliff), roles and decision rights, IP assignment to the company, what happens when a founder quits, and dispute resolution. Sign it before incorporation or in the first month — the ₹499 draft costs less than one hour of the litigation it prevents.

Freelance Contract Essentials — Scope, Payment Terms and Getting Paid on Time

Every freelance engagement needs a written contract fixing: precise scope and revision limits, milestone-linked payments (advance of 25–50% is standard), late-payment interest, IP transfer only on full payment, and termination/kill-fee terms. With it, an unpaid invoice is a clean recovery case — a ₹999 legal notice, then summary suit or MSME Samadhaan if you're Udyam-registered.

GST Registration Basics — Thresholds, Documents, and Whether You Even Need It

GST registration is mandatory once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods (₹20 lakh for services; ₹10–20 lakh in special-category states) — and immediately, regardless of turnover, for interstate goods supply and selling through e-commerce operators. Registration is free on gst.gov.in and takes about a week with Aadhaar authentication. Below thresholds, weigh voluntary registration: input credit and B2B credibility vs monthly compliance.

NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) — What to Include, What's Enforceable in India

An NDA protects your business information before you share it — with vendors, hires, investors or collaborators. The essentials: a precise definition of confidential information, permitted use, term (2–5 years typical), exclusions, and remedies including injunctions. Confidentiality clauses are enforceable in India; blanket non-competes after termination generally are not (Section 27, Contract Act).

Partnership Deed — Clauses, Stamp Duty, and Whether to Register the Firm

A partnership deed is executed on stamp paper (duty ₹500–5,000 by state), signed by all partners, and should fix capital, profit shares, drawings, duties and exit terms. Registering the firm with the Registrar of Firms is optional — but an unregistered firm cannot sue outsiders or its own partners (Section 69, Partnership Act), so registration is worth the modest fee.

Trademark Registration in India — Search, Classes, ₹4,500 Filing and the TM-to-® Journey

A trademark protects your brand name/logo nationally: search the register first (free on the IP India portal), file TM-A in the right class(es) — government fee ₹4,500 per class for individuals/small enterprises (₹9,000 otherwise) — use ™ immediately, answer any examination objection, and if unopposed, registration (®) arrives in roughly 8–18 months. Registration lasts 10 years, renewable forever, and unlocks infringement remedies.

Udyam (MSME) Registration — Free Process, Real Benefits and the 45-Day Payment Weapon

Udyam registration is free, online at udyamregistration.gov.in, needs only Aadhaar + PAN, and issues instantly — yet most small businesses and freelancers skip it and lose its biggest benefit: the MSMED Act right to be paid within 45 days, with compound interest at 3× the RBI bank rate enforced through MSME Samadhaan councils. Add priority-sector lending, collateral-free CGTMSE loans, and government-tender preferences.

Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions for Your Website — What Indian Law Requires

Any website or app collecting user data in India needs a privacy policy — the IT Act's SPDI Rules require one, and the DPDP Act, 2023 adds consent, purpose-limitation and grievance duties with penalties up to ₹250 crore for serious breaches. Terms & Conditions are your user contract: liability caps, acceptable use, refunds, governing law. Both drafted for ₹499 each.
