11 December 2013 Proprietary business is good option for you. It has less compliance in compare to other.

In this form of business organisation, an individual normally uses his own capital, skill and intelligence to carry out some business activity. He is entitled to receive all the profits and gains of his business and also assumes all the risk of ownership. The sole proprietor exercises full control over the affairs of his business. As there is no legal obligation to supply any information regarding his business to anyone, he can maintain maximum secrecy in conducting his business affairs. This type of organisation is particularly suitable for businesses which are small in size and where risk and capital involved are not very large.

Proprietary firm registration

In the case of proprietorship firm, there is no registration required. As there is no procedure to make application for availability of name (as in the case of companies) applicable, you simply have to open a bank account with the name & style you want to work. But if your business is liable for VAT and / or Service Tax registration, then you have to obtain VAT and / or Service Tax registration. Further, for sole proprietorship, no separate income tax PAN is required. The PAN of the proprietor will be the PAN of the firm and proprietor will have to file income tax return in his personal name.

• Shop and Establishment Licence (only Registered Shop and Establishment Licence will be accepted).
