Receiving deposits by individual

I am an individual (not a company) and I do Virtual Currency trading business. Currently I have invested my money only for the business but want to expand business by taking deposits from other people and giving them good profit share in return. Am I allowed to do this? If not then how can I expand my trading business of virtual currency?

Thanks Madam, for giving time to write.

From your answer it appears that even if I and my wife creates a pvt. Ltd. Company, the company can not accept deposits at large from peoople.

I shall be thankful if you could suggest the way I may accomplish my moto.
