What is Sole Proprietorship?

Sole proprietorship is a business that can be owned and controlled by one person. There are no partners in the business.

Sole Proprietorship is simple to start and has very few regulatory compliance requirements for conducting the operation. Proprietorship registration is ideal for entrepreneurs who are getting into the business for small businesses with few clients. A sole proprietor is the sole owner of the proprietorship business. Hence, a business will be carried forward by making new bank account for the business and GST registration will be done by using PAN and Aadhar of the proprietor. The proprietor is completely responsible for all the assets and liabilities of the business.

  • Easy Compliance: The significant advantage of the Proprietorship is that it doesn’t require any additional compliance in most cases.

Hence, anyone who wants to start business with low funds can go for proprietorships as no investments are involved. The income generated through operations can be directed into the proprietor’s pocket or reinvested as he or she sees fit.
  • Taxation: Profits flow directly to the proprietor’s personal tax return; they are not subject to a second level of taxation. In others words, profits from the business will not be taxed at the business level.
  • Dissolution: The business can be dissolved as easily and informally as it was begun.

Disadvantages of the Sole Proprietorship

  • Deduction of Expenses: While filling income tax return some employee benefits, such as owner’s life, disability, and medical insurance premiums, may not be deductible, or may be only partially deductible from taxable income.
  • Lifespan: The entity has a limited life; it exists only as long as the owner is alive. Upon the owner’s death, the assets of the business go to his or her estate.
