how to register a sole proprietorship?

Registering a Sole Proprietorship in India

India’s simplest business, a sole proprietorship suits individuals. It’s fast, affordable, bypassing complex legal incorporation.

Basic Setup & Requirements

One owner, unlimited liability; no MCA registration. “Registering” means PAN, business bank account, and optional trade name.

Key Operational Registrations

Business needs operational licenses. GST is crucial if turnover exceeds thresholds (₹20L services, ₹40L goods). A local Shop Act license and activity-specific permits (e.g., FSSAI) are also typical.
