Doing business in Mumbai
Mumbai is India's largest business city. Registered offices cluster around Nariman Point, Fort and Ballard Estate in South Mumbai, BKC and Lower Parel in the centre, and Andheri, Powai, Goregaon and Malad in the western and eastern suburbs, where many startups and service Companies operate from co-working spaces.
What kind of businesses register here?
Financial services, trading and consulting firms dominate South Mumbai and BKC. Media, technology and D2C startups favour PVT. LTD. and LLP structures in Andheri and Powai. Traders in markets such as Masjid Bunder, Kalbadevi and Dadar often run as Partnership or Proprietorship firms and need a GST Signboard.
What every business here needs
- Pre-Inked Rubber Stamps: DIRECTOR / DESIGNATED PARTNER / PARTNER / PROPRIETOR, Authorised Signatory and round seal.
- A Signboard with the name and registered office address, in Marathi and English, with the Marathi name not smaller. See the Marathi Signboard Rule.
- GSTIN on the board once registered for GST (CGST Rule 18).
Marathi boards in Mumbai
BMC has run repeated drives against establishments without Marathi name boards, and the Supreme Court has asked traders to comply. If your board is English-only, replace it now; you can preview a Marathi and English Signboard free.
A note on co-working and shared offices
Many Mumbai Companies use a co-working or shared office as the registered office. Copy the exact unit number, floor and building name from your Certificate of Incorporation, and ask the space operator where your board can be displayed, since Section 12 requires it outside every office where you carry on business.
