To start selling your products on Myntra and become a seller, there are few preparations you need to do.   

Step 1: Register your business as a legal business entity

Myntra allows only business entities. Therefore, before you sell on Myntra, you need to form a legal business entity.

Though in India, there are five types of business entities; Myntra offers only four types of options to register your business as legal. Myntra doesn’t allow “One-person Company”.  

So, these are the four classifications Myntra provides:

# Sole Proprietorship Firm

# Partnership Firm

# Limited Liability Partnership

# Private Limited Company

Each of them has individual features, and has its compliances and therefore you need to know which one is suitable for you. Choosing the wrong structure can go horrible for your business. It is also important as the company files annual returns and income tax returns with the company registrar. 

Let us understand how each of the business entities is different from each other. 

# Sole Proprietorship Firm

This type of business is owned and managed by a single person. It is prevalent among the unorganized sector, particularly small traders and merchants.

Advantages:

• Government registration not required
• Fulfilling compliance not needed

• Free of double taxation
• Income tax returns applicable only on the owner’s income

You are eligible to register if you have:

# Partnership Firm

In this business structure, two or more individuals are involved. They manage and operate a business as per the duties, obligations, profit shared, and other clauses set out in the Partnership Deed.

• Shared risks between partners 
• Submitting annual returns to the MCA Statuary not needed 
• Audit non-mandatory 
• Easy to shut down 

In a partnership firm, registration is optional. 

# Limited Liability Partnership

This business structure is relatively cheaper to incorporate as compared to a Private Limited Company and is better than Partnership Firm as each owner shares individual tax liabilities. Also, unlike other business structures, LLPs are not liable for business debts and have a limited life.
