"Do I need to register my business, or can I operate without it?"

The Answer:
Yes, technically, you can operate without registering your business, but here’s the catch—it limits your growth, credibility, and access to benefits. Let’s dive into the details!

1️⃣ When Registration Is Not Mandatory:
Small businesses like sole proprietorships can operate without formal registration, but they must still adhere to legal compliances like:

  • Obtaining a GST registration if turnover exceeds ₹20 lakhs.
  • Acquiring licenses (e.g., FSSAI for food businesses).

  • Planning to hire employees? Registration under the Shops and Establishments Act is mandatory.
  • Want to avail of loans, government schemes, or raise investments? You’ll need a business structure like an LLP, partnership firm, or private limited company.
