These Worries Keep Founders Up at Night

  • You're worried about GST notices

    You file GST late. Or you're not sure you're doing it right. That nagging fear of a tax notice keeps you up at night.

  • Your marketplace account could get suspended

    Amazon or Flipkart deactivates listings overnight over one missing document. You're not sure you have everything in place.

  • Payment gateways keep asking for documents

    You try to set up Razorpay, PhonePe, Easebuzz, or Cashfree Payments. They keep asking for paperwork you didn't know you needed. Your money is stuck.

  • You don't have proper policies on your website

    Customer disputes and chargebacks pile up. You realise you never put proper return, refund, or shipping policies on your site.

  • Someone could steal your brand name

    You built something you're proud of. But you haven't filed a trademark yet. Someone else could register your name first.

  • You're not sure about data privacy rules

    India's new data protection law is here. No privacy policy. No cookie consent. The penalties are serious.

What we build for you

Here's what changes once we're done.

GST Done Right From Day One

Now you'll have GST registration, return filing, and HSN codes all sorted. Your Shopify store will generate GST invoices automatically. No more guessing, no more tax surprises.

Legal Policies That Actually Protect You

Now your website will have proper Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Refund, and Shipping policies — written for Indian ecommerce laws and the Consumer Protection Rules. Customers trust you more, disputes go down.

Your Brand Name, Legally Yours

Now you'll own your brand name. We handle the trademark search, filing, and objection process. This also enables Amazon Brand Registry so you get more control over your listings.

Category Licenses Without the Headaches

Now you'll have your FSSAI, BIS, or labeling compliance handled — whether you sell food, supplements, or cosmetics. No risk of products being seized or listings being pulled down.

Payment Gateways Approved Fast

Now you'll have every document Razorpay, PhonePe, Easebuzz, or Cashfree Payments needs — bank verification, GSTIN linking, address proof — all prepared and submitted correctly the first time.

Accounting That Runs Itself

Now your invoicing, GST returns, and expense tracking happen automatically through Zoho Books or Tally, connected to your store. You focus on selling, not spreadsheets.

How we deliver

The process, step by step

  1. We Figure Out What You Actually Need

    First, we look at your business structure, what you sell, and where you sell it. Then we give you a clear list of exactly which registrations, licenses, and policies apply to you — no unnecessary paperwork.

  2. We Handle All the Paperwork

    Our team prepares everything — GST registration, trademark application, FSSAI forms, website policies — all tailored to your specific products. You review and approve, we do the legwork.

  3. We Get Your Platforms in Order

    We make sure your Amazon, Flipkart, and payment gateway accounts have every required document uploaded correctly. No more rejection emails or surprise suspensions.

  4. We Set Up Your Accounting

    We connect Zoho Books or Tally to your store with your product catalog, GST rates, and bank feeds. From now on, invoicing and tax filing happen without you thinking about it.

  5. We Stay in Your Corner

    Every quarter, we check in on your compliance, remind you about GST filings, and update your policies whenever Indian ecommerce regulations change. You're never left guessing.

FAQ

Commonly asked

Yes, GST registration is mandatory for selling on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, and most other marketplaces regardless of turnover. For your own Shopify store, GST is mandatory if your turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs (₹20 lakhs for services). We recommend registering early because marketplaces and payment gateways require GSTIN for account activation.

Trademark registration in India involves: (1) Brand name search on the IP India portal to check availability, (2) Filing application under relevant classes (Class 25 for clothing, Class 3 for cosmetics, etc.), (3) Examination and possible objection hearing, (4) Publication in trademark journal, and (5) Final registration. The process takes 6-12 months, but protection starts from the filing date. We handle the entire process.

Every Indian ecommerce website legally needs: Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy (DPDP Act compliant), Refund & Return Policy, Shipping Policy, and a Contact Us page with business address. If you sell food products, you also need FSSAI license details displayed. For marketplace sellers, you need additional brand authorization letters and GST invoicing capability.

Yes, you can sell on Amazon India without a trademark, but you won't get access to Amazon Brand Registry — which means no A+ Content, no branded storefront, and less control over your product listings. Competitors can also sell against your ASIN. We strongly recommend trademark filing as a priority.

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) 2023 requires every website and app collecting personal data to have a clear privacy policy, obtain consent for data collection, and provide users the right to access and delete their data. Non-compliance can result in penalties up to ₹250 crore. We create DPDP-compliant privacy policies for all our ecommerce clients.

Yes, FSSAI registration (for turnover up to ₹12 lakhs) or FSSAI license (for higher turnover) is mandatory for manufacturing, processing, distributing, or selling any food product in India — including online sales. Your FSSAI number must be displayed on product packaging and your listing. Selling without it can result in product seizure and account suspension.

Basic compliance setup (GST + policies + trademark filing) typically costs ₹15,000–₹30,000. Adding FSSAI, accounting software setup, and marketplace documentation brings it to ₹30,000–₹50,000. This is a one-time investment that prevents costly legal issues down the road. Our service covers everything in a single package.
