Hello Seniors,

I am an HR professional who is on a career break due to personal reasons. Now, I want to start a business along with my friend who is already working with a company on a full-time basis. My queries are as follows:

1) As I am not working anywhere, I will be the face of the company. For any payments, my bank account will be used.

2) Nature of business: we will be sourcing kids' profiles to required clients for modeling purposes (from parents who are willing for their kids to model).

3) If I start as a freelancer and not as a company, then what points need to be covered. Kindly advise me on points from a legal point of view that need to be covered from both a company point of view and as a freelancer.

Waiting for your valuable inputs.

Warm Regards,
Meenakshi

Everything depends on the kind and quantum of funds you have. Starting out as a company will require capital and funds for expenses required to complete all the formalities. You can start small as a freelancer, and as your business grows, you can incorporate it into a company.

In any case, at the bare minimum, you will have to register for GST as a service provider. Whenever any company pays you, they will be paying 18% GST on your behalf, which they cannot get credited back to them as Input credit.
