    Sole Proprietorship.

    A sole proprietorship has no separate legal registration of its own. It operates on the owner's PAN, and its identity comes from the tax and local registrations taken in the business name. We work out which registrations apply to you, obtain them and assemble the proofs your bank needs to open a current account in the business name.

    1. 1

      Registration map

      We review your activity, turnover, location and customers to decide which registrations apply, such as GST, Udyam, Shops and Establishment, FSSAI or IEC.

    2. 2

      Tax registrations

      We complete GST registration where it is compulsory or useful, and TAN if you will deduct tax at source.

    3. 3

      Business registrations

      We complete Udyam registration and the Shops and Establishment registration or intimation for your premises, plus any licence your trade needs.

    4. 4

      Bank account documents

      Banks ask for two proofs of the business's existence under RBI KYC rules. We assemble them, for example the GST and Udyam certificates, for your current account opening.

    Before we start

    What we need from you.

    Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.

    • Proof of the business premises: rent agreement or ownership proof, utility bill and owner's no-objection letter
    • Trade name and description of the business
    • Bank details for the proprietor or the proposed business account
    • Expected turnover and states where you will supply
    How fees work

    The fee depends on your situation. After a short call, the partner who will do the work tells you what's involved and gives you a fixed fee in writing — before any work begins.

    • Government fees and statutory charges are billed at actuals.
    • When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.
