    Sole Proprietorship Registration

    A sole proprietorship is a business that is owned, managed and controlled by one person. It is one of the most common forms of business in India, used by small businesses operating in the unorganized sectors. Proprietorships are very easy to start and have very minimal regulatory compliance requirement for getting started. However, after the start-up phase, proprietorship’s do not offer the promoter a host of other benefits such as limited liability, separate legal entity, independent existence, transferability, etc., which are desirable features for any business. Therefore, proprietorships are suited for unorganized, small businesses that will have a limited existence.

     

    For a Sole Proprietorship business, registration is not required as there is no mechanism provided by the Government of India for the registration or incorporation of a Proprietorship. However, its liability is unlimited and it also doesn’t have perpetual existence.

     

    ComplianceIndia can be your legal and professional partner in India to help you understand how to incorporate a Sole Proprietorship in India quickly and cost-effectively.
