A sole proprietorship is one of the simplest and most traditional business structures in India. Owned, managed, and controlled by a single individual, it’s ideal for small businesses or solo entrepreneurs looking for minimal compliance and full control.

At DSMSIndia, we simplify the process of setting up a proprietorship, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience tailored to your business needs.

What is a Sole Proprietorship?

A sole proprietorship is a business owned by a single person, with no distinction between the owner and the business. This structure allows for quick decision-making and operational flexibility. However, it lacks limited liability protection, making it suitable for small-scale businesses with fewer than five employees.

• Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Aadhaar Card for identification.
• GST Registration for tax compliance, if applicable.

• Shops and Establishment Act License, depending on your business location.
