Good corporate governance begins with sound legal and secretarial compliance. Companies and LLPs in India operate under a detailed framework of the Companies Act, 2013, the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, the rules made under them and, for many businesses, the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and SEBI regulations. Missed filings or incomplete records can lead to penalties, disqualification of directors and difficulties at the time of fund-raising, due diligence or exit.
Lawnut provides corporate legal and secretarial support that keeps your entity compliant throughout the year, so that management can focus on running the business.
