Counsel

This is completely a business decision you will have to take based on the number of founders in your entity, the scalability of your business etc. Hence you can establish any of the following options to start this business.

 - Sole proprietorship company

 - General Partnership firm 

 - One Person Company

 - Limited Liability Partnership

 - Private limited company

Apart from this based on your explanation, it seems like you require Trade license from local municipal authorities and Food License registration by FSSAI apart from the other mandatory registrations like GST, PT etc.

Yes. This is allowed. However, it is better to open a current account in your company's name and then credit your employee's salary from your company's account. You can take any registration like GST, PT etc and open your current account based on this registration certificate.

If you are procuring unpacked fruits and vegetables and you would like to export them, you will have to procure IEC registration first. Based on the country to which you are exporting, FSSAI registration requirement will be decided. However, if you are importing fruits and vegetables you can import only if your vendor has proper clearance. If you sell in the Indian market, then you will require FSSAI registration as a trader if you are selling them as imported and as a wholesaler if you are repacking the imports.
