Business Setup
Sole Proprietorship Registration
The simplest way to start a business in India — ideal for freelancers, consultants and small traders who want to begin operations quickly.
Overview
A sole proprietorship is the easiest and most common form of business in India with minimal registration requirements. We help you set up the basic registrations and documentation needed to operate formally.
While there is no single registration for a proprietorship, we help establish it through a combination of GST registration, MSME/Udyam registration, shop act license and bank account documentation.
