FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a sole proprietorship a separate legal entity?

No, the proprietor and the business are legally the same, meaning the owner has unlimited personal liability for business debts.

Do I need GST registration for a sole proprietorship?

Only if your turnover crosses the applicable threshold, or if you fall under a category where GST registration is mandatory regardless of turnover.

Can I later convert my proprietorship into a company?

Yes, many businesses start as a proprietorship and convert into an LLP or private limited company as they grow.
