Build Fast. Stay Compliant. Raise Confidently.

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.

How We Support Startups

Business Plan & Pitch Deck Support

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.

Legal & Compliance Framework

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.

Financial Health Check

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.

Startup India Registration

We handle DPIIT recognition, Section 80IAC tax exemption applications, and help you access government schemes, grants, and benefits available to recognised startups.

Funding Strategy & Investor Connect

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.

Cap Table & ESOP Management

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.

What Founders Say About Working With Us

★★★★★

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.

Startup FAQs

As early as possible — ideally before you register the company. Getting the structure, registrations, and accounting setup right from the beginning prevents costly mistakes later. Our startup engagement typically starts from company registration itself.
DPIIT-recognised startups can claim 100% tax exemption on profits for 3 consecutive years out of the first 10 years of operation, under Section 80IAC. This can save lakhs in corporate tax during your growth phase. We handle the complete application.
Yes — this is one of the most important things we do for startup clients. We prepare 3-5 year financial projections, unit economics models, and investor-grade P&L that can withstand due diligence. Clean, auditable books are non-negotiable before any serious investor conversation.
