FOREIGN COMPANY SET-UP SERVICES

India has gradually become an attractive market for foreign entrepreneurs but entering the Indian market is a complicated process owing to cultural and geographical differences. We, at SKV & Co., help foreign entities with end-to-end advisory and consulting to prepare their business for entry into India by setting up subsidiaries or liaison offices, branch offices or project offices.

Generally, a Joint Venture (JV) is a way to enter the Indian market in sectors wherein there is a legal requirement for a local partner or there is a % cap on foreign investments. But a foreign company with eligibility for a 100% subsidiary can also go through a Joint Venture (JV). A foreign company can set up its operations in India in any sector, except for a 100% ban on foreign investment like defence, agriculture etc., by a strategic alliance with an Indian partner company.

For companies looking forward to setting up a company in India or to a joint venture in India with a foreign company, we offer the following India entry services:

• Advice on Foreign Exchange Law matters, corporate structuring, rules & taxation
• Managing finances, tax and compliance management, repatriation of funds to the foreign entity
• Helping to find a joint venture in India with a foreign company
