Overview
Many companies prefer an ongoing relationship over one-off engagements — a retained company secretary who tracks deadlines, files routinely, and is available for advisory questions as they come up, rather than being re-briefed each time.
Our retainership covers your annual filings, compliance calendar, board support and day-to-day advisory, priced predictably so compliance stops being a series of surprises.
What's included
- Annual ROC/FEMA filings under one engagement
- Compliance calendar management
- On-call advisory access
- Board & meeting support
- Predictable monthly/annual fee
How we approach it
Frequently asked questions
Is retainership cheaper than one-off engagements?
For companies with ongoing filing needs, it is usually more predictable and often more cost-effective than repeated one-off engagements.
What is included in a typical retainer?
Annual filings, compliance tracking, meeting support and advisory access — the exact scope is agreed upfront.
Can we start with a retainer from incorporation?
Yes — many startups begin their compliance relationship with us at incorporation and move directly into a retainer.
Can we switch from a one-off engagement to a retainer later?
Yes. Many clients start with a specific engagement — like incorporation or a single filing — and move to a retainer once they see the value of not re-briefing us each time.
What's not included in a standard retainer?
One-off transactional work like fundraising documentation, restructuring or NCLT matters is typically scoped and quoted separately, since it falls outside routine annual compliance.
How is the retainer fee decided?
It's based on your entity type, filing volume, and whether FEMA/RBI reporting applies — we provide an itemised quote before the retainer begins.
