FAQs
Frequently asked questions.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Does a sole proprietorship need to be registered?
There is no single formal registration for a proprietorship. However, you need at least one registration — typically GST — to legally operate, open a bank account, and issue invoices.
Can I open a current bank account for my proprietorship?
Yes. Banks typically require 2 registration documents in the business name (e.g., GST certificate + MSME certificate) to open a current account for a proprietorship.
What is the difference between a proprietorship and a Pvt Ltd company?
In a proprietorship, there is no separation between you and the business — you are personally liable for all debts. In a Pvt Ltd, your personal assets are protected. A proprietorship is simpler but offers no liability protection.
Can a proprietorship issue GST invoices?
Yes. Once registered for GST, your proprietorship can issue proper GST invoices to clients — including corporate clients who require them for input tax credit.
When should I move from a proprietorship to a Pvt Ltd?
Consider upgrading when your turnover crosses ₹20–40 lakhs, when clients require a company structure, or when you want liability protection. We can advise you on timing.
