Sole Proprietorship
A Sole Proprietorship is the simplest and most common form of business ownership in India, where a single individual owns, manages, and controls the business. The owner, known as the proprietor, enjoys complete decision-making authority and receives all business profits, but is also personally responsible for all liabilities.
At MyCompanyRegister (Magaputra Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.), we assist entrepreneurs and small business owners in setting up sole proprietorships with proper documentation, registrations, and compliance support.
Who Should Choose Sole Proprietorship?
Sole proprietorship is suitable for:
Small traders and retailers
Freelancers and consultants
Service providers
Home-based and local businesses
First-time entrepreneurs testing a business idea
It is ideal when operations are small and control is a priority.
Advantages of Sole Proprietorship
Easy to start and manage with minimal compliance
Complete control over business decisions
Low setup cost and fewer legal formalities
Simple taxation, as income is taxed under personal income tax
High flexibility in operations and management
Disadvantages of Sole Proprietorship
Unlimited liability, putting personal assets at risk
Limited access to funding from banks and investors
No legal separation between owner and business
Limited scalability for long-term expansion
We help clients understand these risks clearly before proceeding.

Supporting registrations such as GST, Shop Act, or MSME (as applicable)
