Proprietorship Registration

What is Sole Proprietorship in India?

Proprietorship is a popular type of unregistered business entity owned, managed, and controlled by one person. Most of the micro and small businesses operating in the unorganized sectors prefer registering a Proprietorship.

Sole Proprietorship is simple to start and has very few regulatory compliance requirements for conducting the operation. Proprietorship registration is ideal for entrepreneurs who are getting into the business for small businesses with few clients.

Who is a Sole Proprietor?

A proprietor is the owner of the Sole Proprietorship business. It is not a corporate or legal entity. The proprietor and the Proprietorship are the same legal entity.

The PAN and other documents of the proprietor are the basis for obtaining all the registration and licenses. The proprietor is held personally liable in case of any liabilities in a business.
