Sole Proprietorship Registration

One owner. Full control. Business up and running fast.

A Sole Proprietorship is a business owned and run by a single individual, with no legal distinction between the owner and the business. There's no separate incorporation process — instead, the business is formalised through registrations like Udyam (MSME), GST, and a Shop & Establishment license, which together let you open a current account, issue invoices, and operate under a recognised business name.

It's the fastest, cheapest way to start trading — ideal for freelancers, consultants, traders, and small local businesses that don't need outside investors or a co-founder. You keep every rupee of profit and every decision, but you also carry unlimited personal liability, which is exactly where we help you register it the right way.

Structures

Which type of company fits your business?

Each structure trades off differently on liability, compliance load, and how easily you can raise money later. Here's the full lineup we register, at a glance.

Private Limited Company

A separate legal entity with limited liability for shareholders — the default choice for startups planning to raise funding or scale a team.

Most Popular

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

Combines partnership flexibility with limited liability — well suited to professional services firms and small teams that don't need external equity.

One Person Company (OPC)

Lets a solo founder enjoy limited liability and a corporate identity without needing a co-founder or partner on paper.

Sole Proprietorship

The simplest way to start trading under your own name, with minimal paperwork — though liability isn't separated from the owner.

Partnership Firm

Two or more people running a business together under a partnership deed, sharing profits, losses, and unlimited liability.

Section 8 Company

A non-profit structure for charitable, educational, or social objectives, with tax exemptions and no obligation to distribute profit.

Producer Company

Built for farmers and primary producers to pool resources, market produce collectively, and access institutional credit.

Nidhi Company

A mutual-benefit entity that lets its own members borrow and lend among themselves, regulated as a non-banking financial structure.

The Process

From paperwork to certificate, in eight steps

Here's exactly what happens between deciding to incorporate and holding a Certificate of Incorporation in hand.

1

Choose Business Structure

We help you weigh liability, tax treatment, and fundraising plans to pick the right entity type before any filing begins.

2

Name Approval

We check availability and reserve your company name with the registrar, avoiding conflicts with existing trademarks or names.

3

Document Collection

Identity, address, and office proofs are gathered and verified from all directors or partners ahead of filing.

4

DSC & DIN Application

Directors receive a Digital Signature Certificate and Director Identification Number, required to sign and file incorporation forms.

5

Incorporation Filing

The complete incorporation application, memorandum, and articles are filed electronically with the registrar of companies.

6

Certificate of Incorporation

Once approved, the registrar issues your Certificate of Incorporation — the legal proof your company now exists.

7

PAN & TAN

Your company's tax identifiers are generated, usually alongside the incorporation certificate, so you're ready to transact and file returns.

8

Bank Account Opening

We assist with opening your current account, the final step before you can start invoicing and receiving payments as a company.

Eligibility

Who can register a company?

Requirements vary slightly by structure and country, but most incorporations share the same baseline criteria.

At least one director or partner (two for most partnership structures), each over the age of 18.

A proposed name that isn't identical or deceptively similar to an existing company, LLP, or trademark.

No Prior Disqualification

Directors must not be disqualified by the registrar due to past non-compliance or insolvency proceedings.

Lawful Business Objective

The proposed business activity must be legal and clearly stated in the incorporation documents.

FAQ

Common questions about company registration

Can't find your question here? Use the form alongside this page and we'll answer it directly.

It's the legal process of incorporating your business with the government registrar, giving it its own identity separate from its owners.

It depends on your funding plans, number of founders, and liability comfort — our experts assess this with you before recommending a structure.

Most structures need at least one or two directors or partners, depending on the entity type and country of incorporation.

Typically around 7 working days once all documents are in order, though it can vary by country and registrar workload.

Identity proof, address proof, a photograph, and office address proof are the core set — see the Documents section above for the full list.

Only once your turnover crosses the prescribed threshold, or if you're engaged in interstate or specific categories of supply — we can confirm your case.

Yes, NRIs and foreign nationals can be directors or shareholders, subject to additional documentation and, in some structures, a resident co-director.

Most jurisdictions no longer mandate a fixed minimum paid-up capital — you can start with an amount that suits your business plan.

ROC filings, income tax returns, GST returns where applicable, bookkeeping, board meetings, and statutory audits — see the Compliance section above.

Because we handle it daily across three countries, keep you informed at every filing stage, and stay on for compliance long after incorporation is done.
