Proprietorship to Private Limited

When to convert, what moves (GST, bank, licences), and how to sequence incorporation

Scaling on a proprietorship keeps unlimited liability and blocks most institutional capital. Conversion is a project: new company, then clean migration of contracts, GST, and banking.

We map tax and GST impacts before you incorporate so you do not freeze operations mid-transition.

Who this is for

  • Proprietors crossing revenue or hiring scale
  • Founders preparing for equity investment or ESOPs
  • Businesses needing limited liability and cleaner governance
  • Owners unsure whether LLP is a better interim step

How we work

  1. 01

    Decide vehicle and timing

    Confirm Pvt Ltd vs LLP, director/shareholder plan, and whether to incorporate mid-year or at FY boundary.

  2. 02

    Incorporate and open banking

    SPICe+ incorporation, PAN/TAN, current account, and share certificates — see our incorporation guide.

  3. 03

    Migrate operations

    GST registration or migration path, vendor/customer novation, licence updates, and closing proprietorship books cleanly.

What you receive

  • Conversion timing and risk note
  • Incorporation pack for the private limited company
  • GST / bank / contract migration checklist
  • First-year ROC and tax calendar for the company

There is no single-click conversion. You incorporate a new company and migrate the business. We plan the migration so GST and contracts do not break.

Sometimes — especially for professional practices without equity fundraising. Compare options in our Pvt Ltd vs LLP guide.

Usually the company needs its own GST registration (or a carefully planned succession path). We scope this from your invoices, e-way, and state registrations.
