Lock the statutory registration set at launchlegal.d.statutory_registrations_set

P1 GCC

Summary

Decision on which registrations are obtained pre-launch versus deferred to first-trigger. Sequencing has material effect on team-onboarding and first-customer-deal timelines.

Rationale prompt skeleton

Narrative should explain: (a) which registrations are included in the launch set and which are deferred; (b) the trigger criteria for each deferred item and the owner accountable for monitoring; (c) any incentive registrations and the activity commitments they imply; (d) the statutory calendar that flows from this decision.

Default options (3)

full_pack_at_launch Full pack at launch

Obtain corporate tax + VAT/GST + payroll + any industry-specific registration before first hire.

Pros
  • + Zero compliance friction at first hire or first invoice
  • + Simplest mental model for ops team
Cons
  • − Longest incorporation-to-operational timeline
  • − Some registrations have ongoing-filing obligations from day one even with zero activity
trigger_based Trigger-based registration

Obtain only the strictly required pre-launch registrations; register others when their activity threshold is crossed (e.g., VAT/GST on first invoice).

Pros
  • + Faster to first hire
  • + Avoids no-activity filings for registrations not yet needed
Cons
  • − Risk of missing a trigger (penalty exposure)
  • − Higher operational discipline required
selective_with_incentives Selective with incentive registration prioritised

Obtain incentive registrations (STPI, SEZ, RHQ) early to capture tax benefits; defer others to trigger.

Pros
  • + Maximises tax benefit capture from day one of operations
  • + Faster than full pack but still secures the high-value items
Cons
  • − Incentive registrations often involve substantial documentation and review
  • − Requires upfront commitment to specific activity profile
