Home / Company Law & Secretarial Services / Sole Proprietorship Registration
Last updated: 2 October 2026
A sole proprietorship is the simplest way to start a business on your own. There is no single registration law — the business is set up through registrations such as GST, Udyam and Shops & Establishments. Our team puts the right ones in place and opens the way to a current account.
A sole proprietorship is owned and run by one person. It is not a separate legal entity — the business and the owner are the same in law, and the owner is personally liable for all its debts.
There is no single “proprietorship registration”. Banks and customers recognise the business through registrations such as:
Income of the business is taxed as the owner’s personal income, using the owner’s PAN.
Based on the GST law, the MSMED Act and state Shops & Establishments laws. Last updated: 27 September 2026.
