Business commencement — INC-20A.
Review applicability and subscription evidence for the company’s declaration of commencement.
The right support.
With the details in view.
Review whether the company must file a declaration of commencement and whether the subscriber-payment evidence is ready. We match the incorporation and capital records with the bank trail, check any regulated-activity dependency and organise the declaration for the director and practising professional before submission.

Useful answers.
01Is INC-20A required for an LLP?+
No. This is a company-law commencement declaration, not an LLP annual filing.

03Does the declaration replace a sector licence?+
No. A regulated activity may need its own approval before business starts.
