ABOUT THIS PRACTICE
In India there are many individuals who start their own business without seeking anyone else’s involvement. Such individuals are known as sole proprietor and their business entity is called as Proprietorship Firm. There is no difference between an individual and the business but people prefer this structure in initial stage of their business due to the lower tax rate, flexibility and many other such advantages.
Addition of partners results in reduced control over operation. Therefore, these proprietors prefer to run the business alone and opt for sole proprietorship firm registration. Sole proprietorship firm can be registered in many ways even though there is no specific Act to regulate this organization. This structure is favoured by small businesses which do not wish to take risks.

A proprietor doesn't need to report to anyone and also doesn't need to follow orders given by someone else. A third party cannot intervene in sole proprietorship. Unlike in a corporate firm, where compliances or disclosures are required during the complete financial year. Therefore, government interference is also minimal.

The proprietor can run any legal business in his own name or with a different legal name as brand.
