Proprietorship Registration in India
Start Your Business as a Sole Proprietor – Simple, Fast & Affordable
A Sole Proprietorship is the simplest and most popular business structure for individual entrepreneurs, freelancers, small shop owners, and service providers. It allows you to start a business with complete control, minimal compliance, and low cost.
At Startup Suvidha Center, we help you register your proprietorship firm online, making the process easy, hassle-free, and legally compliant.
⚙️ What is a Proprietorship?
A Proprietorship Firm (or Sole Proprietorship) is a business owned and operated by a single individual. There is no legal distinction between the owner and the business, meaning the owner is personally liable for business obligations.
Despite this, a registered proprietorship is highly credible with banks, suppliers, and clients, especially if you obtain a GST or MSME registration.
