CA Arihant Lodha helps founders build the financial and compliance foundation their startup needs — from Day 1 registration to Startup India recognition, investor financials, and beyond.
Building a startup is exciting, unpredictable, and incredibly demanding on your time. The last thing you need is to lose momentum because of a compliance gap, a poorly structured cap table, or a financial model that doesn't hold up in an investor meeting. That's where we come in.
CA Arihant Lodha has worked with early-stage startups, helping founders focus on product and growth while we take full ownership of the financial and regulatory foundation. We've helped startups get their first investment, structure their equity properly, and build financial systems that scale.
We help you build a financial narrative that makes sense — realistic projections, unit economics, and a story that resonates with investors. We have seen what works and what doesn't.
Before you write your first invoice or hire your first employee, you need the right compliance setup. We build your complete legal and regulatory framework from scratch — right from Day 1.
Not sure if your cash flow is sustainable? Burning runway faster than expected? We do a thorough financial health check and give you an honest picture — with a clear action plan.
We handle DPIIT recognition, Section 80IAC tax exemption applications, and help you access government schemes, grants, and benefits available to recognised startups.
Which funding route makes sense at your stage? How should you price your round? What terms should you push back on? We give you the financial clarity to negotiate from a position of knowledge.
A clean, properly structured cap table is essential before any funding round. We help you set it up correctly from the start — and advise on ESOP structuring for team incentivisation.
CA Arihant Lodha was the first advisor we brought on board. He helped us pick the right structure, get our Startup India recognition, and prepare our financials for our seed round. Could not have done it without him.
What I appreciate most is that he speaks in plain language, not CA jargon. When something is wrong, he tells me directly. When there is an opportunity, he flags it proactively. That is rare.
