What we doNine signature advisory programs

What you receiveDocumented, actionable outputs

Scorecards, reports, roadmaps and dashboards your board, investors and regulators can act on — not just advisory conversations.

What we do

Nine Signature Advisory Programs

The high-value assignments Bequip is built around — business transitions, transactions, governance, capital readiness and complex cross-border work. Each one is partner-led and ends in documents your board can act on.

01Business Corporatisation & Transition Program

Build the structure your next stage needs — what worked when the business was smaller may not work for the business you are becoming.

A structure the business can grow, fund and hand over — without rebuilding it later.Explore Program
02Fund-Ready MSME

The 90 days of preparation that decide whether capital arrives on your terms or theirs.

Capital raised on your terms, with numbers that survive scrutiny.Explore Program
03Director Shield Program

Personal liability, disqualification and D&O exposure — mapped, reduced and defended before a regulator asks.

Directors who know exactly what they carry — and a board ready to answer for it.Explore Program
04Due Diligence & Transaction Advisory

Buy-side and sell-side diligence, strategic mergers and the agreements that hold them — judgement before signature.

A transaction priced on evidence, with the agreements that hold it.Explore Program
05Cross-Border Investment Structuring Program

Inbound and outbound capital structured for tax, treaty position and repatriation — decided before the money moves.

Capital that moves once, in the right structure, with a clean regulatory record.Explore Program
06India Entry & Business Setup Program

Helping businesses enter, operate and grow across markets — with the right structure and local insight.

An Indian operation that is compliant, governed and reporting to the parent from day one.Explore Program
07IPO Readiness & Transformation Program

The 12 to 24 months before listing — financials, governance and equity story rebuilt to public-market standard.

A company that is genuinely public-market ready, not just eligible to list.Explore Program
08Virtual Governance Office

A standing governance partner for your board — the judgement a company usually gets only after hiring one full time.

A board that runs on a standard an investor or regulator would recognise.Explore Program
09NBFC Compliance & Governance

Governance for a regulated balance sheet — where the RBI’s view of your board decides whether the licence holds.

A licence position that holds under RBI supervision — all year, not just at inspection.Explore Program

The Parallel Universe

The difference wasn’t ambition. It was having the right partner.

The same business, five years, two universes. Scroll.

Universe AGoing it alone

Two founders, one verbal understanding, no SHA. Nobody sees a reason to write it down.

A foreign investor comes in. The FC-GPR window closes unnoticed and the penalty compounds quietly.

Diligence surfaces an unratified share transfer. The buyer reprices — and the promoter accepts.

Three entities, one family, no structure holding either. Growth waits for the disputes to settle.

Universe BWith Bequip

Shareholders’ agreement signed while everyone still agrees — vesting, exits, deadlock, decided.

The investment is structured before money moves. Reporting closes on time, valuation intact.

The diligence report reaches you first. Findings are cleared before the other side reads them.

Group restructured, succession mapped, IPO runway begun. The next decision is a choice.

Same founder. Same market. Different partner.

How we think

Three moves ahead.
Always.

We help you see the next three moves before you commit to this one.

How the practice began

Businesses change as they grow. The decisions around them need to change too. Finance becomes more complex, informal systems reach their limits, leadership responsibilities shift — and choices that were once reversible start to compound.

Bequip exists for those moments. Finance, governance, strategy and business transition in one practice — chartered accountants, company secretaries, CFOs and corporate lawyers advising as one team, led by a partner who stays on your file.

We work with founders, promoters and leadership teams at the moments when the next stage of the business requires more than the way things have always been done. What we leave behind is written — structuring notes, governance roadmaps, diligence findings, management reporting — work that holds up in front of an investor, a regulator or a family.

What we hold ourselves to

Four values, taken literally

Independence

We sell no products and take no referral fees — so the advice you get is only ever advice.

Judgement

The rulebook tells you what is permitted. We tell you what is wise — rarely the same page.

Confidentiality

Cap tables, board papers, family arrangements — need-to-know inside the firm, NDAs as standard.

Accountability

A named partner owns the engagement and signs the work — the same partner in year six as in year one.
