Overview

What is a Sole Proprietorship?

Overview When a business is owned and governed by one person, it is called a sole proprietorship company. This type of business can be incorporated in fifteen days and hence makes it one of the most popular types of business to begin in the unsystematic sector, specifically among merchants and small traders. For a Sole Proprietorship business, registration is not required as it is identified through alternate registrations, such as GST registrations. However, its liability is unlimited and it also doesn’t have perpetual existence.

Benefits of a Sole Proprietorship

Minimum Compliance

Sole Proprietorships have minimum compliance requirements as they are identified by government and tax registrations. Therefore, their agreements are confined to yearly filings of service, sales, or professional taxes.

Simple to Begin

A Sole Proprietorship is simple to begin. One needs to simply have a GST Registration in place. This business can be set up in 15 days with the help of a PAN card.

Economical

When compared to an OPC or One Person Company, a Sole Proprietorship is economical due to its minimum compliance requirements, including no need to hire an auditor. One of the main reasons why small merchants and traders choose this type of companies.

Answers To Your Questions

Who can start a Sole Proprietorship?

Any Indian citizen with a current account in the name of his/her business can start a sole proprietorship. Registration may or may not be required, depending on the type of business that is planned to be established. However, to open a current account, banks typically require a Shops & Establishments Registration.

How long does it take to establish a business with Sole Proprietorship?

A Sole Proprietorship business does not take more than 15 days to set-up and start functioning. This simplicity makes it popular among small traders and merchants. It’s also much cheaper, of course. This is the other reason why it’s the most widely used business structure.

What businesses are commonly run as Sole Proprietorships?

Most local businesses are run as sole proprietorships, from grocery stores to fast-food vendors, and even small traders and manufacturers. That is not to say that larger businesses cannot operate as sole proprietorships, they can! Jewellery shops are sole proprietors, but it is not recommended.

Aside from a current account, is there no need for any other registration?

This depends on the business you’re in. It is compulsory for any business whose turnover in a financial year exceeds Rs 20 lakhs (Rs 10 lakhs in the case of North Eastern states) to get a GST registration. For businesses that are involved in selling goods or services to customers out of a commercial establishment, it is mandatory to register under Shops and Establishments Act.

Is it cheaper to run an LLP than a private limited company?

Yes, it is much cheaper to run an LLP than a private limited company. Mostly because compliances, such as an audit, apply to LLPs only after their turnover is sizeable. Most LLPs spend about half as much as a private limited companies, in their first year on registrations and compliance work.
