it is essentially the individual who has given a name to his business

the lease deed will always have the lessee written as - Mr. ____________, sole proprietor of _____________

sole proprietorship cannot be the lessee because it is not a legal entity

the sole proprietorship gets its colour and force through the individual behind it

so in any document it will be the name of the individual first followed by the name of sole proprietory and not vice versa

Hello,

You do not need any formal registration for opening a sole proprietorship. The status of sole proprietorship is essentially granted by way of other registrations such as shops and establishments, service tax(now GST) etc. for opening a current bank account, the bank can provide you with the documentation requirements(as these can slightly vary from bank to bank). These would generally include your PAN card, address proof, address proof of your business premises. The lease deed can be done in the name of the proprietorship firm through the sole Proprietor, i.e. you. You will need to finalise a name for the sole proprietorship, try to choose a name which is not similar to any big dance academies or other establishments, as they can tomorrow allege Intellectual property infringement (basically that you have copied their name in order to attract business).

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

This is my response to you:

1. Proprietorship with less than Rs. 3 lakhs of income is not required to pay any income tax, as proprietorship's are taxed as the individual owing the business;

2. After starting up a Proprietorship, it is relatively harder to open a bank account or obtain a payment gateway in the name of the business - since more registrations like GST Registration may be required, therefore engage services of a CA to do the same;

3. Another benefit is that the Proprietor and the proprietorship are one and the same for all legal purposes. Hence, there is no formality for winding up or closing a proprietorship;

4. To prove access to the registered office, a recent copy of the electricity bill or property tax receipt or water bill must be submitted;

5. Yes you can make a rental agreement for the studio's name;

6. Other documents will also be needed, therefore engage a local lawyer who can help you with the formalities and complete the legal processes involved in it.

Hi, a proprietorship firm has to be registered ..I can assist you with the same .. You can visit my office in GURGAON

There is no formal procedure in India to register a sole proprietorship, as a sole proprietorship is considered to be an extension of the Proprietor. Therefore, the existence of a sole proprietorship business can be established only through opening a bank account in the name of the proprietorship firm or obtaining licenses required for conducting the business. To open a bank account for a sole proprietorship, RBI’s KYC norms mandate that any two of the following document must be submitted to the Bank:

Certificate/license issued by the Municipal authorities under Shop & Establishment Act,

Sales and income tax returns

CST/VAT certificate

Certificate/registration document issued by Sales Tax/Service Tax/Professional Tax authorities

License issued by the Registering authority like Certificate of Practice issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Institute of Cost Accountants of India, Institute of Company Secretaries of India, Indian Medical Council, Food and Drug Control Authorities,

Registration/licensing document issued in the name of the proprietary concern by the Central Government or State Government Authority/ Department, etc.

Banks may also accept IEC (Importer Exporter Code) issued to the proprietary concern by the office of DGFT as an identity document for opening of the bank account etc.

The complete Income Tax return (not just the acknowledgement) in the name of the sole proprietor where the firm’s income is reflected, duly authenticated/ acknowledged by the Income Tax Authorities.

Utility bills such as electricity, water, and landline telephone bills in the name of the proprietary concern.

Since, any two of the above documents are required to open a bank account in the name of the Proprietorship, Proprietors typically first obtain any of the above license / registration / certificate first to establish the existence of the proprietorship firm.

Sole Proprietorship Registration through License

As explained above, the existence of a sole proprietorship is established through licenses or registrations or certificates in the name of the Proprietor. Based on the type of business, the following are some of the easy registrations to obtain for establishing a sole proprietorship in India.

Proprietor PAN Card

Proprietorship businesses are considered to be one and the same as the Proprietor. The PAN card of the proprietor will be used for opening bank account, obtaining licenses / registrations / certificates in the name of the sole proprietorship and filing income tax return for the sole proprietorship. Hence, obtaining PAN card for the Proprietor is the first step in establishing a sole proprietorship.

Business involved in Manufacturing or Trading

Value Added Tax or VAT tax is applicable for goods and products sold in India. Any person involved in manufacturing or trading must obtain VAT Registration for conducting business irrespective of the type of business entity. Therefore, to start a sole proprietorship business, business involved in sale of goods and products may obtain VAT or TIN Registration using the Proprietor’s PAN Card from the respective state government. However, once VAT registration is obtained, monthly or quarterly or half-yearly or annual VAT tax returns must be filed by the Proprietorship.

Shop & Establishment Act License is required for businesses that operate a store or factory or formal place of business. Shop & Establishment Act license is often provided by the Department of Labor in the State and is required to operate a business in most states. Therefore, shop and establishment license can be obtained to show proof of existence of Proprietorship business.

MSME Registration is a registration provided to Micro, Small and Medium sized enterprises under the MSMED Act to promote small scale businesses in India. MSME registration can be often obtained easily in many states and can be also used to prove the existence of a proprietorship business.

Sir you can obtain a Shop establishment certificate easily in the name of the FIRm and then can apply for the bank account. Further yes you can enter into the rental lease on name of the studio.

A proprietorship firm can be opened by a simple procedure. You need to have an address proof the address at which the firm would be registered. Your firms letter head. A name of he firm. PAN CARD and other tax documents are necessary.lease would be in the name of the firm. The bank would open a current account in the name of your firm.
