A sole proprietorship is a type of business organization where all management, ownership, and control are held by one individual. The proprietor of the business is referred to as the Sole Proprietor of the Firm. Since a natural person is running the business, there is no legal separation between the promoter and the company. The promoter receives all of the earnings. A Sole Proprietorship firm does not need to formally register.
The main advantage of a sole proprietorship business is its ease of setup, as it requires fewer legal documents and has cheaper initial costs.
