Short answerA proprietor typically gets a Udyam (MSME) registration, GST registration if turnover or activity requires it, a Shops & Establishment licence, and any industry licence (like FSSAI for food). These also help open a current account in the business name.

Common registrations

Udyam/MSME
GST (if applicable)
Shops & Establishment licence
Industry licence (e.g., FSSAI)

Why they matter
