Quick facts

What is a "Startup Advisory Session"?

A startup advisory session is a scheduled, paid consultation with an advisor who maps out the legal, tax, and compliance decisions your startup needs to make - from choosing the right entity structure to staying investor-ready - instead of you piecing it together from scattered blog posts.

Unlike a single-topic call, this session is deliberately broad: it's designed to give founders an end-to-end roadmap covering incorporation, statutory registrations, contracts, IP, and the compliance calendar that follows. It's ideal at three moments - before you incorporate, before you raise funding, and whenever you're unsure what compliance step comes next.

Common topics a startup advisor can help with

• Entity structure - Private Limited vs LLP vs OPC vs Proprietorship for your specific business and funding plans.
• DPIIT / Startup India recognition - eligibility, benefits, and whether it's worth applying now.
• Compliance roadmap - what registrations (GST, PF, ESI, Shop & Establishment) apply and when.
• Founder and cap table matters - founders' agreement essentials, equity split, vesting basics.
• Fundraising readiness - data room checklist, ESOP pool planning, cap table hygiene before a term sheet.
• Contracts strategy - which agreements (NDA, vendor, employment, SLA) you need before you start operating.
• IP protection basics - when to file a trademark or protect proprietary code/content.
• ROC and annual compliance - what ongoing filings apply once you're incorporated.

Who should book this

• First-time founders about to incorporate and unsure which structure fits their plans.
• Early-stage startups preparing for a funding round who need a compliance and documentation health-check.
• Founders who've been operating informally and want a clear roadmap to formalise the business.
• Teams evaluating DPIIT recognition or other startup scheme benefits.
• Anyone who has multiple open legal/compliance questions and wants one advisor to connect the dots instead of piecemeal answers.

What you get

1. A verified startup advisor with experience across incorporation, compliance, and early-stage fundraising.
2. A focused 30–40 minute call - video or phone, whichever you prefer.
3. A structured roadmap, not a generic checklist - the advisor tailors guidance to your business stage and sector.
4. A written summary of key recommendations and next steps sent after the call.
5. Confidentiality - your business plans and cap table details are never shared or reused; NDA available on request.
6. Option to upgrade - if the advisor recommends specific filings (incorporation, DPIIT, agreements), you can book those services directly with a discount on your consultation fee.

Who are the experts

Every startup advisor on KanoonPe is a verified professional - Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary, or lawyer - with hands-on experience advising early-stage companies, verified for credentials and active practice before onboarding. Because startup questions span tax, corporate law, and compliance, our advisors are chosen for breadth as well as depth, so a single session can connect structure, compliance, and contracts instead of sending you to three different experts.
