13 December 2025 You cannot directly convert “technical knowledge” into share capital without structure. The safest method is to first incorporate the company, then issue shares to the investor for cash, and thereafter transfer the LLP’s business/know-how to the company with a registered valuation and issue shares for consideration other than cash. This avoids MCA, tax, and future litigation risks.

14 December 2025 So while incorporating the company,we need not show the investor details as shareholders? Can incorporate with existing two directors and shareholder as llp and director?
The LLP has three partners ,they are being shown as director and llp as shareholder represented by a DP.is it ok?
