Sole Proprietorship is one of the most popular forms of businesses in India. It is a business structure where the proprietor owns, manages and controls the entire operation. It is simple to set up and adheres to minimal compliance requirements. It can be used by any individual with no requisite qualifications.

It also offers maximum tax benefits. However, it has some downsides such as unlimited liability and a lack of investor appeal. To address these issues, it is recommended that entrepreneurs consider converting their sole proprietorship into a private limited company.

This is a great option for small and medium-sized businesses, as it requires only minimal paperwork and filings. However, it is not a suitable structure for larger companies.
