Sole Proprietorship Registration

Start operating under a business name within days — the simplest structure for solo founders and small traders.

Overview

What is Sole Proprietorship Registration?

A sole proprietorship is the fastest and least expensive way to start a business in India, ideal for freelancers, small traders and local service providers who don't need a separate legal entity. We help you obtain the registrations needed to open a current bank account and operate formally — typically GST registration, MSME Udyam, and a shop & establishment license where applicable.

Since there's no separate legal identity, the proprietor bears unlimited liability — something we'll walk you through before you decide on this structure.
