Who this is for. Pre-seed and seed founders raising, or about to, and anyone who has taken foreign money without filing for it.
What the session examines
A partner reads the papers before the call, so the time goes on the position rather than on the background. These are the checkpoints the session works through.
- Cap table against the statutory record: allotments, share certificates, PAS-3, the register of members
- FDI received and the FC-GPR position, including filings already late
- Valuation support for the round under section 56(2)(viib), where it is required
- ESOP pool: whether it is documented, approved and accounted for
- Open statutory gaps — ROC, TDS, GST — that surface in diligence rather than before it
What you leave with
A gap list, ranked by what a diligence team finds first, with the filing that closes each one. It is yours to act on, with or without the firm.
How it runs
- Book a slot and pay. The fee is taken at booking, which is what holds the time.
- Send the papers at least a day ahead. 60 minutes is not long enough to also read them on the call.
- The session itself, with a partner who has already read the file.
- The written note follows.
Where the matter turns out to be larger than a session, it continues under our start-up advisory practice, scoped and priced before any work starts.
