Benefits

Benefits of Registering an Indian Subsidiary

Limited Liability

In the event that the company suffers a loss or financial difficulty, the limited liability trait safeguards the director or member. Personal assets of directors and members are not at risk.

Scope of Expansion

An Indian subsidiary company has all the rights and privileges of a private limited company. Businesses can easily grow and expand with access to capital.

Perpetual Succession

The company continues to operate regardless of what happens to its directors or members — insolvency, member changes, fatalities, transfers, etc.

Borrow Money

A fully-owned subsidiary company in India can benefit from borrowing money in the form of loans from financial institutions.

Sue and Be Sued

An Indian subsidiary company behaves like a legal person and has the ability to file lawsuits and be sued.

Attracts FDI

The Indian government has approved 100% FDI participation in fast-growing business sectors — FDI is allowed 100% without any prior approval.

Purchase Real Estate

Foreign Subsidiary Companies are allowed to purchase real estate in India because of their independent organizational structure.
