What should a startup do immediately after incorporation?

Set up bank account, accounting records, document vault, GST review, founder agreements, invoicing workflow, and compliance calendar.

Should a startup apply for every registration at once?

No. Prioritize based on activity, customer needs, legal triggers, funding plans, and operating stage.

Why are the first 90 days important?

Early records create the base for tax, GST, funding, payroll, Startup India, audit, and investor due diligence later.

Startup Services: First 90 Days Compliance Roadmap

The first 90 days after starting a business shape the compliance record for years. Founders often focus on launch, product, sales, and funding, but the business also needs clean documents, accounting, tax registrations, contracts, and compliance ownership.

A good first-90-days roadmap turns the startup into an operating business with evidence.

Days 1 to 30: Foundation

Collect incorporation documents, PAN, TAN, founder KYC, registered office proof, bank account records, DSC details, and founder approvals. Set up accounting categories, invoice templates, expense policy, and document vault folders.

If the structure is still being chosen, compare private limited, LLP, OPC, or other options before filing.

Days 31 to 60: Registrations and workflow

Review GST, Udyam, Startup India recognition, trade license, FSSAI, professional tax, labour, EPFO, ESIC, and sector-specific registrations based on actual activity. Do not apply for everything at once unless the business facts support it.

Create workflows for sales invoices, purchase bills, payments, reimbursements, payroll, contracts, and customer records.

Days 61 to 90: Readiness and growth

Prepare trademark search, founder agreements, employee documents, funding records, compliance calendar, and management reports. If the startup may apply for Seed Fund or investor funding, preserve financial and product evidence early.
