Let’s talk

Mumbai, Maharashtra

Finance and compliance support for Mumbai businesses

Mumbai's businesses tend to meet finance at its most demanding: investors who expect board-quality reporting, lenders who test every number, and counterparties who run their own diligence. We help growing companies meet that standard, remotely from Bengaluru.

The business base

What drives business in Mumbai

As India's financial centre, Mumbai concentrates the investors, lenders and advisers that growing companies eventually have to satisfy. That raises the standard for everyone else in the city: a funded startup in Lower Parel or a trading house in the Masjid Bunder markets is judged by the same diligence checklist.

The city also has a large media and film production base, an established gems, jewellery and electronics export zone at SEEPZ in Andheri, and thousands of trading and distribution businesses that have grown faster than their accounting.

The sectors we support in Mumbai

Local compliance

What differs in Maharashtra

GST, TDS, PF and ESI work the same way everywhere. These are the state and local obligations we track on top of them.

  • Maharashtra professional tax — the employer's registration certificate and the business's own enrolment certificate.
  • Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund contributions, payable twice a year.
  • Registration or intimation under the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments Act.
  • Payments to micro and small suppliers that manufacture or provide services, made within the 15- or 45-day limit, since a late payment is deductible for income tax only in the year it is actually paid.

Common questions

Questions from Mumbai businesses

Do you have an office in Mumbai?

No. We work with Mumbai businesses remotely from Bengaluru, with a fixed reporting calendar and scheduled reviews. Where a board meeting or lender discussion needs us present, we agree it in advance.

We have a funding round coming up. What do you do first?

We check whether the books and compliance records would survive the investor's diligence, then fix what wouldn't before the data room opens. It's much cheaper to find the gaps yourself.
