VC & Private Equity Advisory

Overview

VC/PE Advisory (Venture Capital & Private Equity Advisory) focuses on helping startups and growth-stage companies raise smart capital from the right investors, at the right time and on the right terms. Instead of just “finding money”, good advisory ensures that the investment structure, investor rights and founder protections are balanced and legally sound.

Lawcify supports you across the entire journey – from preparing your company for investment, to structuring the round, drafting agreements, and completing filings. Many founders who come for Business Setup in India, Company Registration, or Startup Registration later need help with funding. The same Lawcify team that set up your company can now also guide you through VC/PE transactions so that your legal and compliance base stays strong while you grow.

Our VC/PE Advisory is closely connected with services like Brand Registration, Trademark Registration, Trademark Search Online and XBRL Filings, because investors look for clean intellectual property and compliant financial reporting before they decide to invest in any company, especially in hubs like Gurgaon where Company Registration Gurgaon and funding activity are very active.

Benefits of VC/PE Advisory by Lawcify

• Better Prepared Company: Before you approach investors, we help you streamline company registration documents, cap tables, shareholder agreements and key policies. This improves your chances of getting serious interest from Venture Capital and Private Equity funds.
• Professional Deal Structuring: Instead of random terms, your round is structured using clear instruments like equity, CCPS, CCDs, ESOP pools and other compliant options. This makes the deal easier to understand for investors and safer for founders.
• Investor Confidence: When investors see that your business is properly registered, trademarks are protected through Trademark Registration or Brand Registration, and compliances like XBRL Filings are in place, it builds trust and improves valuation discussions.
• End-to-End Legal & Compliance Help: Funding is not just about signing a term sheet. It impacts your Tax & Compliance, ROC filings, secretarial records and future rounds. Lawcify keeps all these aspects aligned so that you do not face surprises later.
• Support Beyond Funding: After the deal is closed, we can also support you with Virtual CFO services, board reporting, and ongoing Regulatory Compliance, so that the relationship with investors remains smooth.

In short, Lawcify does not just “draft documents” for VC/PE deals. We act as a long-term partner who understands your journey from Startup Registration and Partnership Firm Registration to large growth rounds, especially for businesses building in and around Gurgaon and other Indian cities.

Key Elements in a VC/PE Transaction

A professionally handled VC/PE round touches many legal, financial and compliance elements. Some of the most important parts include:

• Company Structure & Cap Table: Before funding, your legal structure must be clear. Whether you started with Partnership Firm Registration, converted to a company, or took Business Setup in India services, we ensure that your cap table correctly reflects promoters, early investors and ESOP pools.
• Intellectual Property & Brand Protection: Investors want to know if your brand name and logo are protected. That is why services like Trademark Registration, Trademark Registration Gurgaon, Brand Registration and Trademark Search Online become critical inputs during due diligence.
• Financial & Compliance Records: Clean records, correct filings and proper XBRL Filings of financial statements make your company more reliable in the eyes of institutional investors.
• Term Sheet & Shareholders’ Agreement: These documents define valuation, rights, exits, anti-dilution, governance and more. Our VC/PE Advisory ensures these are practical, investor-ready and promoter-safe.
• Regulatory Filings: Post-deal filings with ROC, RBI (if foreign investment), and other authorities must be done correctly to avoid any future compliance gaps.

Lawcify joins all these pieces together – from Company Registration and Startup Registration to investment contracts and compliance – so that your funding round is strong both on paper and in practice.

Important Details You Should Know

Many founders focus only on valuation and amount of money, but a VC/PE round also impacts control, decision-making and future flexibility. It is important to understand board rights, information rights, veto matters, liquidation preference, ESOP pool size and exit conditions before you sign any document.

If your business is newly formed through Company Registration Gurgaon or any other city, or has recently availed Business Setup in India services, a first funding round can bring major changes in shareholding. Having a clear view of these details helps you avoid disputes later with co-founders and investors.

Lawcify reviews each clause with you in simple language, connects it to your existing compliances like tax returns, XBRL Filings and ROC filings, and ensures that your Virtual CFO services team (if engaged) and legal advisory are aligned on the same plan.

Types of VC & PE Deals

Some common types of Venture Capital and Private Equity investments that Lawcify supports include:

1️⃣ Seed & Early-Stage VC Rounds

These are smaller rounds usually done soon after Startup Registration or Company Registration. The focus is on validating the idea, building initial product and getting early customers. Many founders at this stage also take support for Brand Registration and Trademark Search Online.

2️⃣ Growth-Stage VC & Series Rounds

Once the business model starts working, companies raise larger Series A, B and beyond. Here, documentation, XBRL Filings, board processes and Virtual CFO services become more important, as institutional investors prefer professionally managed structures.

3️⃣ Private Equity Investments

Private Equity usually comes in when the business is more mature, with stable cash flows and higher ticket size. These deals often involve deeper due diligence, complex term sheets and structured exits.

4️⃣ Strategic or Hybrid Rounds

Sometimes corporate investors, family offices or strategic partners invest in companies that have already taken services like Business Setup in India, Partnership Firm Registration (converted to company), and Trademark Registration Gurgaon. Lawcify helps in aligning all earlier agreements and compliances so that the new investor feels confident about the company’s history.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Do I need to complete Company Registration before raising VC/PE funding?

Yes. Investors normally prefer to invest in a properly incorporated company. If you are still operating as a proprietorship or partnership, Lawcify can help you with Company Registration or Business Setup in India first, and then structure your funding round.

2. I am based in Gurgaon. Can Lawcify help me with both Company Registration Gurgaon and funding?

Absolutely. We regularly assist clients with Company Registration Gurgaon, local compliances and then support them in approaching investors, preparing documents and handling VC/PE transactions from the same platform.

3. Are IP and brand matters important before investors come in?

Yes. Securing your Brand Registration, Trademark Registration and doing a proper Trademark Search Online are very important steps. Investors prefer companies where brand ownership is clear and protected under Indian law.

4. How do Virtual CFO services fit into VC/PE Advisory?

Virtual CFO services help you maintain investor-grade financial reporting, MIS, budgeting and cash-flow tracking. This makes it easier to handle due diligence, meet post-investment reporting requirements and plan future rounds confidently.

5. Why are XBRL Filings important for funded companies?

XBRL Filings are used for filing financial statements with MCA in a structured format. For funded companies, this becomes even more important because investors, lenders and regulators may rely on these submissions to review your performance. Lawcify ensures that your XBRL and other compliances stay correct.

6. Can Lawcify also help with related services like Startup Registration or Partnership Firm Registration?

Yes. If you are at an early stage, we can help you choose between Startup Registration, Partnership Firm Registration, LLP or company structure, and then gradually guide you towards VC/PE readiness when your business model is ready for external capital.
