FAQs

Can I change my structure later?

Yes, most structures can be converted later (e.g. proprietorship to Pvt Ltd), though it involves its own process and cost. It's usually simpler to choose carefully upfront.

Is this a legal determination of what I must register as?

No. This tool gives general informational guidance based on your answers. The final decision, and any legal/tax implications, should be confirmed with a qualified professional.

What if my answers point to more than one reasonable option?

That's common — several structures can genuinely work for the same business. Use this as a shortlist and talk through the trade-offs with a consultant before deciding.
