Hey I am on Medial • 2d

Need Advice: Co-Founder in Unregistered Startup Hi all, A friend started a business and asked me to join as a co-founder with 28% equity , However, this was agreed informally over WhatsApp. The business is still unregistered, no GST number, no company bank account, he’s using his personal account for business now. I suggested creating a partnership deed or registering the company, but he wants to wait until it starts making profit due to GST costs. How can I legally protect my share or involvement at this early stage without formal registration? Any advice would be appreciated. Posting anonymously because he’s here too 🥲 Thanks!🙏🏻

What are all the mandatory things needs to be considered while registering a private limited company? ( RoC, GST, Current Bank Account) Please mention other than the above things that are mandatory for the newly forming company.
