Proprietorship
A sole proprietorship (also known as individual entrepreneurship, sole trader, or simply proprietorship) is a type of an unincorporated entity that is owned by one individual only. It is the simplest legal form of a business entity.
Benefits of a Sole Proprietorship:
- The owner or proprietor is in complete control of business decisions.
- The income generated through operations can be directed into the proprietor’s pocket or reinvested as he or she sees fit.
- Profits flow directly to the proprietor’s personal tax return; they are not subject to a second level of taxation. In others words, profits from the business will not be taxed at the business level.
- The business can be dissolved as easily and informally as it was begun.
