Sole Proprietorship

A sole proprietorship is among the most basic and simple forms of business organization, and as such, is also one of the most common types of business in existence. A sole proprietorship is owned by a single person who owns the entirety of the business’s property and interests, and is conversely responsible for 100 percent of all liabilities and management duties involved in the operation of the company.

When determining what type of business entity to select as you form a new company, it is absolutely essential that you take the time to fully understand the benefits and drawbacks of each entity available to you and understand the goals and future ramifications that this choice may have.
