What Goes Wrong Without the Right Registrations
Most proprietorship problems are not about the business idea, they are about missing the registration that a bank, client, or marketplace later asks for.
No GST number when a client asks for one
Bank refuses to open a current account
No Udyam certificate for MSME benefits
Wrong registration chosen for the business type
Elixir Filings figures out exactly what your business needs before you start operating, not after a client rejects your invoice.

Why This Matters
Getting the right registrations from day one saves you from delays later, when a client, bank, or lender asks for something you do not have.

Open a business bank account
A GST or Udyam certificate makes this far easier than a personal account.
Work with larger clients
Many companies will not pay an invoice without a GST number.
Access MSME benefits
Udyam registration gives access to collateral free loans and other schemes.

01
Proprietorship Registration
A proprietorship is the simplest way to start a business in India, with no separate registration act of its own. What actually makes it official is a combination of registrations, such as GST, Udyam, or a Shop and Establishment license, depending on what your business does. Elixir Filings helps you identify exactly which registrations you need and gets them filed correctly the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What registrations do I actually need for a proprietorship?
It depends on your business activity and turnover. Most proprietors need GST registration and Udyam registration at minimum, with a Shop and Establishment license required in some states. We confirm exactly what applies to you.
Is there a government fee to start a proprietorship?
There is no single registration fee since a proprietorship has no separate registration act. Udyam and GST registration are free from the government, while state Shop and Establishment fees vary by location.
How long does it take to set up a proprietorship?
Most proprietorships are ready to operate within 3 to 5 working days, once we have your documents and know which registrations apply to your specific business activity and turnover level.
Can I open a bank account with just a proprietorship?
Yes, once you have at least one registration, such as GST or Udyam, most banks will open a current account in your business name, which a personal account cannot offer for invoicing.
What happens when my proprietorship outgrows this structure?
There is no direct conversion from a proprietorship to a company, they are separate structures. We register a new LLP or Private Limited Company and help wind down the proprietorship in an orderly way.
