Built to Launch. Structured to Scale.

CA Arihant Lodha helps founders build the financial and compliance foundation their startup needs — from Day 1 registration to Startup India recognition, investor financials, and beyond.

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.

MSME & Startup India Registration

Get access to government schemes, collateral loans, priority sector lending, and tax benefits that come with being a registered MSME or Startup India entity.

Bank Account & Post-Incorporation

We help you open a business bank account, set up your first board meeting, issue shares, and prepare your statutory registers — everything you need before your first transaction.

What Founders Say About Working With Us

Frequently Asked Questions

When should a startup hire a CA?
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.
 
What is the Section 80IAC tax benefit for startups?
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.
 
Can you help us prepare investor-ready financials?
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.
