Common questions

Do I need to register my proprietorship with any authority?

There's no single 'proprietorship registration' — we help you get the GST, Udyam or Shop & Establishment registrations that give your business formal recognition.

Is my personal liability limited?

No — as a sole proprietor, you're personally liable for all business debts and obligations.

Can I convert to a private limited company later?

Yes, many businesses start as a proprietorship and convert once they need external funding or limited liability.
