Sole Proprietorship Registration/incorporation in Pakistan – Lahore.

• A sole proprietorship (also known as a sole trader) is a business run by an individual. There is no separate legal entity; the owner takes all of the profits and / or losses of the business.
• The owner also has all the control and all the liability and debts from the business.
• The owner is the final decision maker and has no interference.
• The business taxes are paid by the owner through his or her personal income tax return. Sole traders can benefit from lower tax rates.
• The obvious disadvantage of this business structure is that there is unlimited liability of the owner and in case of lawsuits and other debts, the owner is personally held liable.
• A sole proprietorship is different from partnerships and limited companies.
• A basic sole proprietorship is also different from a Single Member Company (SMC) which is a limited liability company with one owner.

In order to register a basic sole proprietorship all you need to do is: 

1. Proposed name for your business
2. Letterhead and business cards with business name, logo, phone number and physical office address on it.
3. Business Owner CNIC, letterhead/business card, and a stamp with your new business name to any bank of your choice.
4. Open a bank account in the name of your business and give you confirmation with account details (account maintenance / welcome letter) – NOT MANDATORY.
5. Register your Business National Tax Number (NTN) from FBR, for assistance contacts us.

7. Now a registered sole proprietor.
