Overview

What is a Sole Proprietorship?

A sole proprietorship is a business owned and run by a single individual. It is the easiest and most economical structure to start, with the owner and the business treated as the same person for legal and tax purposes.

There is no single registration certificate; instead the firm is established through registrations such as GST, MSME (Udyam) and a Shop & Establishment licence. KNAP Advisory selects the right set for your business and gets you operational quickly.
