Sole - Proprietorship

A sole proprietorship is the simplest form of business structure in India, owned and operated by a single individual. It requires minimal formalities and is not considered a separate legal entity from its owner. In a sole proprietorship, the owner assumes full responsibility for all aspects of the business, including finances, operations, and liabilities. While easy to set up and manage, a sole proprietorship offers no distinction between personal and business assets, meaning the owner is personally liable for any debts or obligations incurred by the business.
