A Proprietorship Firm is a type of business in which just one person owns and runs the company. It is the easiest and least complicated type of business to establish. All of the firm’s responsibilities and debts are personally owed by the proprietor.

Documents required for Sole Proprietorship Registration:

How to open a Bank Account for the Sole Proprietorship firm:

To open a bank account for the sole proprietorship firm, you must contact any national bank. They would insist on two documents with the name of the sole proprietorship firm and address. Where one document is taken as proof of entity, the other is the address proof. These requirements are part of the KYC requirements prescribed by the RBI.

The government fees include the registration fee charged by the Registrar of Companies for Pvt Limited company registration, stamp duty levied by the concerned state government (which may differ from state to state), and the cost of making the DSC. By partnering with Galaxy Legal Solutions, you can ensure a smooth process and minimise associated costs.

  • MSME Udyam Registration Certificate
  • GST Registration Certificate
  • Shops & Establishment Registration
  • ITR of last FY, wherein the business name is mentioned.

The RBI regulations regulate the banks and must adhere to the KYC-related requirements as prescribed from time to time. We can help you arrange the necessary registration, as discussed above.

Easy to start

A sole proprietorship is simple to establish because there are no legal formalities to complete, only a few registrations such as GST, Shop Act registration, MSME, etc are required.

Control

The owner has total authority over all business-related decisions, including how to share profits and grow the company.

6

Cost-effectiveness

A proprietorship firm is cost-effective as there are low registration fees and no compliance expenses

Transferability

A proprietorship business cannot be sold or transferred to another individual. Only the owner has the authority to end it.

An LLP stands for “Limited Liability Partnership.” It is a legal business structure that combines the features of a partnership and a company. LLPs are frequently used by professionals and businesses that require limited liability protection while enjoying the flexibility and tax benefits of a partnership.

Partners in an LLP have limited accountability for the partnership’s debts and liabilities. This means that partners’ personal assets are generally protected, and their liability is limited to their capital investment and any personal guarantees provided. LLPs are governed by The Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008.

Key Benefits of a Limited Liability Partnership

  • Limited Liability: Partners are not personally liable for the debts or actions of other partners. Their personal assets are protected from the firm’s financial obligations.
  • Avoidance of Double Taxation: LLPs enjoy pass-through taxation. Profits are taxed only at the individual level, not at both the company and individual level.
  • Professional Services: LLPs are commonly used by lawyers, accountants, doctors, architects, and consultants, allowing them to collaborate with liability protection.
  • Perpetual Existence: LLP continues even if a partner dies, resigns, or is declared insolvent. It remains active until formally dissolved.
  • Transferability: Ownership or partnership changes can be done easily depending on the LLP agreement and legal requirements.

Documents Required for LLP Registration in India

  • PAN Card and Aadhaar Card of all Partners
  • Passport-size photographs of all Partners
  • Rent Agreement or Ownership Agreement of the office space
  • Recent Electricity Bill (for address proof)
  • Specimen Signature of all Partners
  • No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the property owner

To maintain LLP registration, partners must file periodic reports and documents with the relevant government authority and adhere to operational regulations. It is advisable to consult legal professionals to ensure full compliance with Indian laws.
