Proprietorship Firm Registration in brief

A sole proprietorship has no separate legal existence from its owner and requires no incorporation. To operate formally you typically obtain Udyam registration, GST (when applicable), a shop and establishment or trade licence and a current account. Income is taxed in the proprietor’s personal return.

The proprietorship is India’s most common business form. It is quick, cheap and easy to run, which makes it ideal for freelancers, retailers, small manufacturers and service providers. Its limitation is unlimited personal liability and less credibility with large customers.

We help you get the business documents that banks, marketplaces and customers ask for: Udyam registration for MSME benefits, GST registration, a local trade or shop licence, a business name on invoices and a current account in the business name. We also advise on when to move to an LLP or company.

For sellers on e-commerce platforms we align GST, bank account and brand details so the onboarding is not rejected.
