Frequently Asked Questions

Is company registration required for proprietorship?

A sole proprietorship is not incorporated as a separate company under the Companies Act, so there is no standard company incorporation process like a private limited company. However, the business may need registrations based on its activity and location, such as PAN, GST registration when applicable, local trade licences, or sector-specific approvals. The proprietor remains legally responsible for the business.
