Introduction

With the emergence of ideas, more & more people are thinking to do something of their own like running a startup or business etc., for that having a separate legal entity is like “Cherry on the cake” these days.

Many options are there to run a business like registering it as a Sole proprietorship, by forming a Partnership firm or registering as a Company, Limited Liability Partnership (LLPs) etc.
