Sole proprietorship registration in India
 
definition of

PROPRIETORSHIP

A sole proprietorship is a type of business entity owned and run by one individual. There is no legal distinction between the owner and the business, so the owner has unlimited personal liability for any debts or obligations incurred by the business. Sole proprietors retain complete control and keep all profits, but must also fund all losses personally. It is the simplest and most common structure for small or new businesses with one owner.

INTRODUCTION TO

PROPRIETORSHIP Registration in India

A sole proprietorship is the simplest and most common structure for small businesses or freelancers with just one owner. It is not considered a separate legal entity like a corporation, so there is no distinction between the business and the individual who owns it. The sole proprietor retains complete control over the company and is entitled to all the profits, but also holds unlimited personal liability for the debts and obligations.

This means their personal assets are at risk if the business cannot pay back loans, gets sued, or becomes bankrupt. Since no formal business registration is required, sole proprietors can get up and running quickly with minimal startup costs. However, they may find it harder to raise capital and establish business credit. Overall, sole proprietorships offer low barriers to entry but high economic risk for an individual owner without much separation between business and personal finances.
