One of our clients, being an individual,  wants to start a business of renting out laptops on monthly or on annual basis. The renting services will be provided within the city of Mumbai and nearby areas only.He does not have any office address. He will manage everything from his residence place only.


Whether he is required to take shop & establishment act? Whether he is required to register with any other department?
