Simplifying Business Registration & Compliance Across India

A Sole Proprietorship is a business that is owned and managed by one person. The owner makes all the decisions and runs the business. It is one of the easiest and most common types of businesses in India, especially for small businesses.

A sole proprietorship is usually recognized through registrations such as GST, Shop & Establishment License, or other business registrations. Since only one person owns the business, the owner is responsible for all profits, losses, and debts of the business.
