Two options, one table, a verdict you can act on.
Eight comparisons founders ask us for every week. Each one opens with the answer, then shows the rows that matter: liability, cost, tax, funding and what happens if you change your mind.
Private Limited Company vs LLP
Choose a Private Limited Company if you plan to raise equity funding, grant ESOPs or sell the business one day.
Read the comparison Private Limited CompanyvsOne Person CompanyPrivate Limited Company vs One Person Company
Choose a Private Limited Company if you have a co-founder or expect investors, because an OPC has exactly one shareholder and cannot issue shares to anyone else.
Read the comparison LLPvsPartnership FirmLLP vs Partnership Firm
Choose an LLP over a partnership firm in almost every case: it costs a little more each year but caps each partner's liability at their contribution, gives the business its own legal identity and lets you add partners cleanly.
Read the comparison ProprietorshipvsPrivate Limited CompanyProprietorship vs Private Limited Company
Start as a proprietorship if you are testing an idea alone, earn under ₹20 to 30 lakh a year and carry little risk: it is free to start and taxed at your personal slab, nil up to ₹12 lakh under the new regime.

Choose an OPC if you are a single Indian founder who wants a company structure now and a Pvt Ltd later.
Read the comparison Regular GSTvsComposition SchemeRegular GST vs Composition Scheme

For FY 2026-27 the new regime is better for most people: tax is nil up to ₹12 lakh (₹12.75 lakh for salaried after the ₹75,000 standard deduction) and the top 30% rate starts only above ₹24 lakh.
