Registering a private limited company runs through the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC), and the process itself is procedural — but two steps cause almost all the delays.
First, name clearance: your proposed company name has to be checked against existing registrations, and vague or overly generic names get bounced back more often than founders expect. Second, drafting the Memorandum and Articles of Association — this document defines your company's actual purpose and internal rules, and a template copied from an unrelated business creates problems later, not at registration time.
Beyond those two, the remaining steps are largely sequential: opening a bank account for share capital, submitting the registration application with the required forms and fee, and obtaining the certificate of incorporation, followed by a trade license and tax registration.
Getting the Memorandum right the first time is the single highest-leverage step in this whole process — it's worth having it drafted specifically for your business rather than adapted from a template not built for it.
