Proprietorship Firm Registration
Start your own business with a simple proprietorship structure and guidance on the registrations applicable to your business.
Indicative only. Government fees, stamp duty and third-party charges are extra. Final fees and timelines are confirmed in writing; timelines also depend on the authorities.
Start Your Own Business
A proprietorship is a straightforward way to run a business under your ownership. It suits individuals who want to start a shop, consultancy, trading business or service venture without incorporating a company.
LEGALLY helps you identify the registrations relevant to your business and organise the required documents.

Important Information
A proprietorship is not a separate legal entity from its owner. Requirements for GST, local licences and other registrations depend on the business activity and applicable rules.
Udyam registration is free on the official government portal. Any professional fee charged by LEGALLY must be for a clearly defined assistance service, not for the government registration itself.
