Other Basic Benefits

1. Entry Strategy:

We can assist you with gathering and understanding all the information required to create an efficient market entry strategy for India.

2. Pre-Investment Advisory:

a. Regulatory Advisory:

  • At Catalyst Enterprises, we have a thorough understanding of India’s complex regulatory regime and compliance requirements and offer advisory services on:
  • Foreign Direct Investment Regulations
  • Company Law
  • Direct Taxation, including Jurisdiction Analysis
  • Indirect Taxation​
  • Capital Structuring
  • Labour Laws like PF, ESI, etc

b.Financial Feasibility:

Often companies realise that while the top line may be in line with initial forecasts, profits are not, even as planned investments continue. We assist our clients by vetting the initial business plan thoroughly, guiding them on how much to invest in the project and what returns to expect.

We follow a comprehensive process, starting with questioning the basis of top-line revenues, accounting for all possible costs and finally, adjusting expectations based on real tax implications. The outcome is a well-defined business plan that shows the expected returns while clearly highlighting the investment required along with the optimum timing.

​c. Location Planning:

When choosing a location, it is crucial to assess both qualitative and quantitative factors such as land, labour, infrastructure, logistics, taxes and incentives. We understand this requirement and ensure that our study gives you a clear choice of location after considering various factors.

d. Entity Formation:

Selecting the right form of entity is crucial for any investor as this can have serious implications on the rights, growth potential, tax implications and legal/financial liabilities. At Catalyst Enterprises, we assist clients in evaluating and establishing the following:

Wholly Owned Subsidiary:A private limited company is the most common form of entity in India. It offers a lot of flexibility in terms of permissible operations according to Indian regulations. The limitation on shareholder liability and the level of control on operations make it the preferred route for foreign businesses establishing their India operations.

Liaison Office (LO) and Branch Office (BO): While a private limited company is a popular form of entity for most multinationals, a Liaison Office allows for the easiest entry and exit options. Alternatively, a number of foreign companies also set up Branch Offices if they see revenue potential through trading, for example, and would like their profits to be freely repatriated (although with low growth potential in the near term).

Project Office (PO): A Project Office is an apt form of entity when a foreign company is planning to execute specific projects in India and needs to set up a temporary project/site office for carrying out activities related only to that project. The Indian government has now granted general permission to foreign entities for establishing project offices subject to specified conditions.

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): A Limited Liability Partnership is a business entity that provides the benefits of limited liability of a company but gives its members the flexibility of organising their internal management based on mutual agreement, as in a partnership firm. This format is very useful for small and medium enterprises and for the services sector in particular, including professional services and knowledge-based enterprises.

e. Business Registrations:

A business establishment must obtain the required business registrations for running operations smoothly and within the legal framework. However, these registrations differ by territory, industry and type of operations. We assist our clients by obtaining all the necessary registrations within clear timeframes.

f. Growth Strategy:

To test keep pace with the ever-changing business environment, companies need to reassess their business strategy with a different perspective and change plans accordingly. With our team of experienced professionals, we are well positioned to assist companies in their growth strategy, providing end-to-end solutions.

Our approach for the assessment and formulation of growth strategy is as follows:

  • External and internal analysis/SWOT Analysis
  • Strategy formulation
