Explain what the business will sell or do, who its customers are and where it will operate. Include regulated activities, imports, exports and any intended employees. State whether this is a new venture, an existing operation or a change to an existing entity; the starting point affects the review.

Identify the proposed owners, partners or directors and their intended roles. Describe the registered-office and operating-premises arrangements. Begin with a document inventory and share sensitive identity records only through an agreed route. A professional should confirm the evidence and permissions required for the chosen structure.

Entity formation, tax registration and activity-specific licences are separate questions. Ask the relevant professional to identify what applies and who will prepare, approve and submit each filing. For Indian company incorporation, MCA publishes SPICe+ and linked-filing guidance; use the current official requirements for the actual application rather than a generic list.

Agree how acknowledgments, queries and final records will be delivered. Keep submitted versions and approvals together so a later question can be traced. Registration does not complete every ongoing obligation; ask for the applicable follow-up items and assign responsible owners. Approval and processing time remain subject to the relevant authority.
