Step 1

Get a PAN Card

The foundational identity for your business.

If you don't already have one, obtaining a Permanent Account Number (PAN) is the first step. For a sole proprietorship, the PAN of the proprietor acts as the PAN of the business. It is essential for filing income tax returns and for most other business registrations.
Step 2

Open a Business Bank Account

Separate your personal and professional finances.

Step 3

Register Under Shops & Establishment Act

Legalize your physical premises.

Step 4

Apply for GST Registration

For tax compliance and inter-state trade.

Step 5

Obtain MSME (Udyam) Registration

Unlock government benefits and subsidies.
