02 July 2012 No special requirement is there for setting-up any sole proprietorship business.

Sole proprietorship business should have only 1 person, if there are more than 1 then it would be called as partnership or something else? In that case some incorporation formalities are there.

As you say, service tax is applicable you need the following:-
1) PAN card in the anme of the Proprietor
2) Application for Service Tax Registration.
