Overview
A Sole Proprietorship is the simplest and most common form of business in India. There's no separate registration act — you simply start a business in your own name (or a trade name) and obtain relevant licenses and registrations based on your industry and turnover.
It's ideal for freelancers, consultants, small retailers, home-based businesses, and anyone testing a business idea before committing to a more complex structure. The owner has complete control over all decisions, keeps all profits, and can start operations within days.
At Big4India, we help you establish your sole proprietorship with all the right registrations — GST, MSME/Udyam, Shop & Establishment Act, and professional tax — ensuring you're fully compliant from Day 1 and ready to open a current account and issue GST invoices.

- Direct profit access — all business income is your personal income, no dividend tax

Consultation & Registration Planning
We assess your business type, expected turnover, and location to determine which registrations you need — GST, MSME, Shop Act, FSSAI, or others.
PAN & Aadhaar Verification
Your personal PAN serves as the business PAN. We verify your KYC documents and prepare all applications.
GST Registration
If your turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh for NE states) or you need to sell online/interstate, we register you for GST so you can issue tax invoices.
MSME/Udyam Registration
We register your business on the Udyam portal, giving you access to government schemes, priority lending, and lower interest rates.
Shop & Establishment Registration
If applicable in your state/city, we obtain this registration which is required for opening a current account in many banks.
Current Account Setup Assistance
With your registrations in hand, we guide you through opening a business current account at the bank of your choice.
