  1. You may start your business at home, though a trade license may not be issued for residential complexes. Most of the businesses start at home at the initial days.
  2. Being a sole proprietor there is no procedure for registration of business. You may start it in your name. Check the applicability of VAT/ CST (since multi state sale is occurring) /Service Tax etc.
  3. Open a bank account of current account type and dedicate the same to the business without mixing with personal transactions and ensure to link this to your e-commerce transactions. Route all the payments through this account.
  4. Specify the terms and conditions of the business including jurisdiction for law suits etc.
