Introduction: Growth is Exciting — Compliance Can’t Fall Behind
Every start-up begins with energy, innovation, and ambition. But as the business grows, so does its complexity — new investors, changing shareholding, foreign capital inflows, and evolving regulations.
In India’s fast-changing legal environment, compliance isn’t a one-time activity. It’s an ongoing discipline. Missing a filing, mismanaging your cap table, or overlooking FEMA obligations can quietly erode investor trust and even derail funding.
That’s where the Compliance Retainer Model steps in — an approach that transforms legal compliance from a reactive burden into a proactive growth advantage.
And for founders, Sanchit Ranade & Associates (SR&A) is that steady compliance partner who ensures every stage of growth is structured, lawful, and investor-ready.
What Is a Compliance Retainer — and Why It Matters
A Compliance Retainer means your start-up has a dedicated company secretary advisory team on call, not just during filings or audits, but throughout the year.
Instead of engaging a consultant only when a problem arises, founders get:
–Ongoing advisory support — from board resolutions to shareholder decisions.
–Monthly / quarterly compliance calendars — tracking all ROC, RBI, and MCA due dates.
–Real-time legal updates — on FEMA, FDI, and Companies Act changes.
–Single-point coordination — for notices, clarifications, and filings.
In essence, it’s like having an in-house governance team, without the overhead cost — handled by experts who live and breathe corporate law.
The Founders’ Reality: Why One-Time Help Isn’t Enough
Start-ups evolve faster than traditional businesses. With every funding round or investor negotiation, your compliance picture changes.
Here’s what often happens when compliance isn’t managed continuously:
These are not minor errors they directly affect your valuation, funding readiness, and legal credibility.
SR&A’s retainer clients avoid these pitfalls because compliance is managed as a live function, not as a last-minute exercise.
