Introduction: From Local Trade to Global Markets
Starting my own cotton export business in India was more than just a commercial decision—it was a leap of faith. Like many aspiring entrepreneurs, I faced a flood of questions. Should I go for a Private Limited Company or stick to a Sole Proprietorship? How do I navigate Aadhar Udyam Registration? More importantly, how do I ensure compliance while growing internationally?
That’s when I came across Taxlegit, and everything began to fall into place.
What Is Taxlegit?
Taxlegit is a comprehensive business services platform. They specialize in company registration, GST filings, IEC (Import Export Code), tax advisory, and legal compliance. For me, they were the all-in-one partner I needed to turn my export dream into a real, functioning business.
Step 1: Choosing the Right Business Structure – Pvt Ltd vs Sole Proprietorship
One of the first dilemmas I faced was choosing between Pvt Ltd vs Sole Proprietorship. I had read about both, but I wasn’t sure which suited an export business better.
Why I Initially Considered Sole Proprietorship
The idea of a sole proprietorship seemed appealing—it’s simple, easy to set up, and doesn’t require much paperwork. But as I spoke to the experts at Taxlegit, I realized the downsides: limited funding options, unlimited liability, and limited scalability. For an international business like cotton exports, these risks were too high.
Why I Chose a Pvt Ltd Company
The Private Limited Company structure, as explained by Taxlegit, offered credibility with international buyers, access to loans and investors, and limited liability protection. Taxlegit handled everything from company name approval to MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) registration in just a few days. I didn’t even have to step out of my office.
Step 2: Registering Under Aadhar Udyam for MSME Benefits
I had heard that registering under Udyam (MSME) can provide subsidies, loan benefits, and faster approvals. Taxlegit advised me to link my Aadhar card and apply for Udyam Registration as soon as possible.
Benefits I Received
Once I got my Aadhar Udyam Registration, I noticed the difference almost immediately:
-
Lower interest rates on business loans
-
Priority sector lending
-
Quicker government approvals and certifications
-
Access to MSME schemes for exporters
Taxlegit’s step-by-step assistance made the process completely stress-free.
Step 3: Setting Up the Cotton Export Business
Starting a cotton export business in India involves several steps:
-
Obtaining an Import Export Code (IEC)
-
Registering with the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT)
-
Choosing a reliable shipping partner
-
Complying with global standards like ISO or GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)
Taxlegit handled the IEC registration, helped me with the necessary documentation, and even guided me on selecting an export-friendly bank account.
They also introduced me to export incentives available under the RoDTEP scheme (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Products). That alone improved my profit margins by 3-5%.
