Expert Consultation

Booking, sessions and working with verified consultants.

06

How do I book an expert business consultation online?

Visit the Expert Consultation page or browse Consultants, filter by category or segment, choose a verified expert and select an available audio or video slot. Confirm your booking and join the session at the scheduled time from your dashboard.

07

What is the difference between audio and video consultation?

Audio consultation is ideal for quick, distraction-free advice when you are on the move. Video consultation adds face-to-face interaction, which helps when reviewing documents, compliance checklists or visual business plans with your expert.

08

Are consultants on Biz Consultancy verified?

Yes. Consultants listed on the platform go through a verification process. Profiles show expertise areas, experience, ratings and segments so you can choose a professional aligned with your business need.

09

Can I reschedule or cancel a consultation booking?

Rescheduling and cancellation policies depend on the booking type and timing. Our help desk can assist with slot changes where permitted. Check your booking details in My Bookings or contact support for specific cases.

10

What types of experts are available on the platform?

You can consult Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, tax specialists, legal advisors, business strategists and industry experts across segments such as manufacturing, retail, food, services, export and more.

Registration & Compliance

Company formation, licences, GST and statutory support.

11

What business registration services does Biz Consultancy offer?

We support Private Limited company registration, LLP incorporation, partnership and proprietorship setup, GST registration, MSME/Udyam registration, FSSAI, trade licences and ongoing compliance filings — handled by verified professionals.

12

How long does Private Limited company registration take in India?

Timelines vary by state, name approval and document readiness. With complete documents, incorporation often completes in a few working days to a few weeks. Our team guides you through each step and keeps you updated on status.

13

Do I need GST registration for my new business?

GST registration is mandatory when turnover crosses the prescribed threshold or for certain business types regardless of turnover. A consultant on our platform can review your activity and advise whether registration is required now or later.

14

Can startups get help with annual compliance and filings?

Yes. Beyond incorporation, we help with ROC filings, GST returns, TDS, labour law registrations and other recurring compliance so your business stays statutory-ready as it grows.

15

How do I submit a registration enquiry on the website?

Use the enquiry form on the homepage, Business Services page or Contact Us page. Share your name, email, mobile and pincode — our team will connect you with the right registration expert for your business type.

Business Diagnosis

Structured assessments for growth, gaps and compliance risks.

16

What is business diagnosis on Biz Consultancy?

Business diagnosis is a structured assessment that reviews your company's financial health, compliance posture, operational gaps and growth opportunities. It helps you understand where the business stands today and what to fix before scaling.

17

Who should get a business diagnosis?

MSMEs, startups and existing businesses that feel stuck on growth, unsure about compliance, or planning expansion benefit most. It is especially useful before major investment, restructuring or entering a new market.

18

What does a diagnostic package include?

Packages typically cover expert-led review across finance, compliance and strategy areas, with actionable recommendations — not generic advice. Specific inclusions depend on the diagnostic plan you choose.

19

How is business diagnosis different from a one-time consultation?

A consultation answers a specific question in one session. Business diagnosis is a broader, structured review across multiple areas of your business, producing a clearer picture of priorities and next steps.

Membership & Pricing

Plans, benefits and how payments work.

20

What are Biz Consultancy membership plans?

Membership plans unlock benefits such as discounted consultations, diagnostic packs, priority support and access to exclusive resources. Plans are available for business owners and, separately, for experts who join the platform.

21

How much does an expert consultation cost?

Consultation fees vary by expert, experience and session type (audio or video). Each consultant profile displays their rate so you can compare before booking. Membership may offer reduced rates on eligible services.

22

What payment methods are accepted?

Payments are processed securely through the platform using standard online payment options. You receive confirmation and receipts for bookings, memberships and service purchases in your account.

23

Can I get a refund if I cancel a paid service?

Refund eligibility depends on the service type, cancellation timing and policy for that booking. Contact our support team with your booking reference for a case-by-case review.
