What is Sole Proprietorship Registration?
A sole proprietorship is the simplest way to start trading in your own name. There is no separate registration law; the business is established through registrations such as GST, Udyam and the Shops and Establishments licence.
It is quick and cheap, but the owner has unlimited personal liability and the business cannot bring in partners or investors.
