This registration signifies that the proprietor is conducting business within the framework of a proprietorship.

Frequently asked questions.

  • A proprietorship, also known as a sole proprietorship, is a type of business structure owned and operated by a single individual. It is the simplest form of business organization, where the owner retains complete control and responsibility for all aspects of the business.
  • The advantages include ease of formation, full control over business decisions, simplicity in tax reporting (income is reported on the owner’s personal tax return), and fewer regulatory requirements compared to other business entities.
  • The primary disadvantages include unlimited personal liability for business debts, difficulty in raising capital, and challenges in transferring ownership if the owner decides to sell or retire.

While it's not legally required, it is highly recommended to open a separate business bank account to keep personal and business finances distinct. This helps in better tracking of income and expenses and simplifies tax reporting.
