The checklists we run with clients, published.
Nothing here is gated. Read each one on the page, print it, or ask for the PDF. The reason is simple: a founder who finds the gap before it costs money is a better client conversation than a form fill.
The Web3 founder’s legal-readiness checklist
Eight items in the order they have to be done: entity, classification, licensing, AML, fiat, tax, data, IP. You cannot reclassify a token after the sale.
The founder’s India compliance calendar
The recurring statutory dates a private limited company should not miss, on one page: DPT-3, FLA, DIR-3 KYC, AOC-4, MGT-7 and the rest, in order.
The founder’s SHA exit-rights checklist
Seven clauses written at entry that decide what you walk away with at exit: drag, tag, ROFR, reserved matters, the waterfall, board control, vesting.
The UAE VASP licensing-readiness checklist
Seven steps to a UAE virtual-asset licence: choose the regime, map your activities, substance, capital, the compliance function, banking, the dossier. Pairs with VARA vs ADGM vs DIFC.
The founder’s entity-selection decision sheet
Six questions that decide whether you start as a Private Limited company, an LLP, or a US C-corp, with a recommendation for each answer.
The early-stage fundraising instrument cheat-sheet
When to use a SAFE, a CCD or CCPS, or a priced round, what each means for FEMA and valuation, and the filings that follow.
The ESOP pool sizing worksheet
Size a pool bottom-up from your hiring plan, decide pre-money versus post-money, and model the dilution before you sign.
The FEMA and FC-GPR compliance checklist
Seven checks before and after foreign money enters an Indian company: the route, beneficial ownership, pricing, FC-GPR, the FLA return, staying diligence-clean.
The MiCA CASP authorisation readiness checklist
Seven steps to CASP authorisation readiness: the class, the member state, capital and the insurance route, governance, the policy set, and the 40-working-day clock. Pairs with MiCA vs VARA.
The FIU-IND registration checklist for VDA service providers
Seven steps from the VDA service provider test under the PMLA to registration, the AML programme, reporting, and the 30% tax and 1% TDS to model alongside.
The joint-venture term checklist
Nine terms to fix before signing: the vehicle, control, contributions, IP in and out, exclusivity, deadlock, exit pricing, cross-border money, and governing law.
The ODI regularisation checklist
Seven steps to fix missed ODI filings: map the holdings, list the forms that were due, price the late submission fee, check the three-year window, sequence the fix with the bank. Pairs with LRS vs ODI.
The MiCA readiness self-assessment
An interactive readiness self-assessment: does MiCA reach you, which parts apply, and where your activity, token, terms, marketing and disclosures would fail. Tick as you go, get a live read, and send it to us for a discovery call. Pairs with the CASP readiness checklist.
A checklist finds the gap. A call closes it.
