Gujarat-Specific Practical Example
Two founders in Surat planned to build an online textile-sourcing platform connecting garment businesses with local manufacturers.
Both founders required legal ownership and expected to approach investors after developing the platform. They selected a Private Limited Company, finalised their shareholding ratio and used a valid Surat registered-office address.
The MOA included appropriate technology, marketplace and textile-related business objects. After incorporation, platform agreements, business receipts and intellectual property were maintained in the company’s name.
