A sole proprietorship form of business is a common business structure in India. A sole proprietorship business is established and managed by a single person. This type of business form is best suitable for individuals wishing to start a business with less investment. Generally, it does not require any registration as such.
A sole proprietorship business can be started from home or on a premise with a minimum amount. The control of the business is solely in the hands of the single proprietor/owner who invests in the business. He bears all the losses of the business and enjoys all the profits. He can appoint persons for conducting the business, but the ownership will rest solely with him.
Many local businesses such as grocery stores, parlours, boutiques, retail stores, etc., can be established as a sole proprietorship firm. Even small traders and manufacturers can establish a sole proprietorship firm.
