Proprietorship Registration

A sole proprietorship is a type of business carried on by a single individual. The ownership of the business lies with a single person, and hence they are referred to as the proprietor. In India, a sole proprietorship can be considered as the most commonly accepted form of business. Proprietorships are very easy to start and have very minimal regulatory compliance requirements for starting and operating. So, it’s ideal for small businesses and first-time entrepreneurs who would like to get a taste for business. A proprietor must be a living person and cannot be a corporate or legal entity. The proprietor and sole proprietorship are one and the same in the eyes of the law. Therefore, in a proprietorship, the PAN and documents of the proprietor are the basis for obtaining all other business registrations and licenses. In case of any issues or liability in the sole proprietorship business, the sole proprietor is held personally liable for the liability."
