Frequently asked questions

Is a Proprietorship legally registered?

A sole proprietorship has no separate incorporation law — it is recognised by obtaining relevant licences (GST, Udyam, trade licence etc.). SS Marks identifies and obtains the right registrations for your business type.

Can a proprietorship open a bank account?

Yes. Banks accept a proprietorship current account application with supporting licences (GST certificate, Udyam certificate or trade licence) confirming the business name.

What is the tax treatment for a proprietorship?

The proprietor and the business are the same legal Complaints person — income from the business is taxed as personal income under the applicable income tax slab. There is no separate business income tax.

Can a proprietorship be converted to a company?

Yes. A proprietorship can be converted to a Private Limited Company or LLP through a slump sale or business transfer agreement. SS Marks handles both the conversion and the new entity registration.

What is the liability exposure for a sole proprietor?

A sole proprietor has unlimited personal liability — personal assets are at risk for business debts. This is the primary reason fast-growing businesses convert to a Private Limited Company or LLP.
