Overview
A sole proprietorship is a business owned and run by one person, where there is no legal distinction between the owner and the business. There is no single "proprietorship certificate" in India — instead, the firm establishes its existence through a combination of registrations.
We set up the right combination for your business, typically GST registration, Udyam (MSME) registration and a Shop & Establishment licence, which together are enough to open a current account and invoice clients.
