                                                          Frequently Asked Questions

                                                          Get answers to common questions about sole proprietorship registration and start your business with confidence.

                                                          A sole proprietorship is the simplest business structure where an individual owns and operates the business. Any Indian citizen above 18 years with a PAN card can register a sole proprietorship. It's ideal for freelancers, consultants, small traders, and service providers.
                                                          The registration process typically takes 7-15 working days, depending on government approvals and document verification. With Vakilsearch, we ensure faster processing through our streamlined online system and expert assistance.
                                                          You need: PAN card, Aadhaar card, address proof (utility bill/rent agreement), passport-size photographs, and bank statements. For GST registration, additional documents like business address proof and rental agreement may be required.
                                                          GST registration is mandatory if your annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs (₹20 lakhs for northeastern states). However, voluntary GST registration is beneficial for claiming input tax credits and gaining business credibility with clients.
                                                          Most banks require business registration proof to open a current account. A sole proprietorship certificate serves as legal proof of business existence, making bank account opening smoother and faster.
                                                          Sole proprietorships have minimal compliance requirements. You need to file income tax returns, maintain basic accounting records, and comply with GST filing if registered. There's no mandatory annual filing like companies.
                                                          Government fees are minimal (₹500-1000). Our service includes registration, GST filing, MSME registration, and bank account assistance at transparent pricing with no hidden charges. Contact us for a detailed cost breakdown.
                                                          Yes, you can easily convert your sole proprietorship to a Private Limited Company or LLP when your business grows. We assist with the conversion process, ensuring smooth transition and transfer of assets.
                                                          MSME (Udyam) registration provides government benefits like priority sector lending, subsidies, tax exemptions, and easier loan approvals. It's free and highly recommended for all sole proprietorships to access government schemes.
                                                          Yes, you need a valid business address which can be your home address, rented office, or coworking space. We help you with address verification and ensure all documentation meets legal requirements.
