Professional- Considering that your initial investment is Rs. 6 lacs, it would be advisable to initial start the business as a sole proprietorship. The main benefit of a sole proprietorship is that there is no requirement under law for registration of a sole proprietorship. The only requirement would be to have a PAN card, GST registration etc. The costs involved in fulfilling these requirements are not very high.
- Further since you would be engaging in food business, necessary registration/license, (as the case may be and depending on the annual turnover etc.) under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 would be required to be taken.
- Later on, in case you intend to scale up business, attract investors or there arises a requirement for you to have an incorporate entity, you can convert the sole proprietorship into a Private/Public/One Person Company. In such a case, the company would be bound for compliances and Corporate Governance under the Companies Act, 2013.
- Further, in case you want your entity to be recognised as a Micro, Small or Medium Enterprise, you can take necessary registration under the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 by fulfilling the criteria provided therein, which would entail hosts of benefits such as preferential treatment in government tenders, quicker payment schedules as per the Act, etc.
