Proprietorship

A sole proprietorship, also described as a sole trader ship, individual entrepreneurship, or proprietorship, is a type of business operated by a single person in which the owner and the business entity have no legal distinction. A solo proprietor does not have to work "alone"; it is acceptable for a solo trader to hire others.

All gains (subject to business taxes) go to the solo trader, who bears full responsibility for all losses and debts. The owner owns all of the company's assets and is responsible for all of the company's debts.
