There are various forms in which one can run a business. It is very important to choose the right form of business. Most popular forms of business in India are:

1. Sole Proprietorship
2. Partnership Firm
3. Limited Liability Partnership
4. Company

 

You should be very careful while deciding the form in which you want to start your business. Each form has its own benefit. There are different taxability rules. Let's learn a little more about each one of them. 

Sole Proprietorship

Sole Proprietorship is also known as Sole tradership or Proprietorship. It is run by only one person. The owner of the business is known as Sole Proprietor. There is no legal distinction between the entity and the sole proprietor. It is the simplest form. For starting a business you just have to launch your business. The owner receives the entire profit and has unlimited liability.

Partnership Firm

Partnership Firm is one of the business forms where two or more people come together to run,operate and manage the business. The owners are known as partners. There is a partnership agreement between partners. The nature of partnership is voluntary and contractual. The liability of partners is unlimited.

 

Limited Liabilty Partnership

LLP is an alternative corporate business form that gives the benefits of limited liability of a company and the flexibility of a partnership. It can continue its existence irrespective of changes in partners. It is capable of entering into contracts and holding property in its own name. The LLP is a separate legal entity, is liable to the full extent of its assets but liability of the partners is limited to their agreed contribution in the LLP. Further, no partner is liable on account of the independent or unauthorized actions of other partners, thus individual partners are shielded from joint liability created by another partner’s wrongful business decisions or misconduct. Mutual rights and duties of the partners within a LLP are governed by an agreement between the partners or between the partners and the LLP as the case may be. The LLP, however, is not relieved of the liability for its other obligations as a separate entity. Since LLP contains elements of both ‘a corporate structure’ as well as ‘a partnership firm structure’ LLP is called a hybrid between a company and a partnership. LLP shall be a body corporate and a legal entity separate from its partners. It will have perpetual succession.

 

Company

Company is a separate legal entity and has perpetual succession. The owners of the company are known as shareholders and they have limited liability. The shareholder of a company could be any person. It may be an individual, LLP or a different company. A company can be a private limited company, a public limited company or a one person company (OPC). In India, you can incorporate a company through the MCA portal. Let us discuss the process of incorporating a company. 

Incorporation of a company

Companies in India can be incorporated through filing SPICe+. SPICe+ is a part of various initiatives undertaken by the Government of India towards Ease of Doing Business (EODB).

SPICe+ form is an integrated webform and an advanced version of the previous SPICe form (i.e. e-form INC-32). SPICe+ webform offers 11 services by 3 Central Government Ministries & Departments. (Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Ministry of Labour & Department of Revenue in the Ministry of Finance) and three State Governments (Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal), thereby saving as many procedures, time and cost for Starting a Business in India. Once the SPICe+ is filled completely with all relevant details, the same would then have to be converted into pdf format, for affixing DSCs. Thereafter all digitally signed applications can be uploaded along with the linked forms.
