What it is and how we handle it

Most small businesses in India start as proprietorships: a shop, a consultancy, a freelancer, a home-based business. There's no minimum capital and no annual MCA filing, and the owner keeps full control.

Because the law doesn't recognise the business separately, everything rests on registrations. Banks generally ask for two documents in the business name to open a current account, and customers may ask for a GSTIN or Udyam certificate before paying invoices.

We work out which registrations you actually need, get them done in the right order, and set you up for tax — often under presumptive taxation, which lets small businesses declare a fixed percentage of turnover as profit without detailed books.

FAQs

Common questions for Proprietorship in Tennessee.

Search FAQs

6 results.

How do I register a sole proprietorship?

There's no single registration. You register the business under the laws that apply to it — Udyam, GST if you cross the threshold or sell inter-state, Shops & Establishment in your state — and those registrations together establish the proprietorship.

Do I need GST registration for a proprietorship?

Only if your turnover crosses the threshold (₹40 lakh for goods in most states, ₹20 lakh for services) or you sell goods inter-state or through most e-commerce marketplaces. Many proprietors register voluntarily when business customers ask for GST invoices.

How is a proprietorship taxed?

The profit is added to the owner's income and taxed at individual slab rates. Small businesses can opt for presumptive taxation, declaring 6% of digital receipts (8% of cash receipts) as profit without detailed books, within the turnover limits.

When should I move to a company or LLP?

When personal liability becomes a risk, when you want partners or investors, or when customers prefer dealing with a company. We help convert a proprietorship into a private limited company when you're ready.

What is the time difference between Tennessee and India?

Most of Tennessee is on Central time, so it runs behind India by 10.5 hours in summer and 11.5 hours in winter. We work mostly over WhatsApp and email, so you don't need to match Indian office hours.

Can I get Proprietorship done while living in Tennessee?

Yes. This is India-side work, so it is done online and you don't need to travel. If a document must be attested abroad, we tell you upfront whether a notary, a state apostille or an Indian consulate is needed.
