Hi, @Naveed5 .

Thanks for sharing your question with the Shopify Community.

I understand you have some questions surrounding business registration.

While registering your business can be beneficial, it’s not mandatory. However, you may need to consult local experts for tax and legal advice, as we do not provide legal advice.

When you register your business, you will typically obtain a business license or permit, a tax identification number, and other necessary legal documents. These requirements may vary depending on your location and the nature of your business. It’s important to consult with local authorities or a legal professional to understand the specific registration requirements for your business.
