What to Focus On

  • It is owned by a single person.
  • The proprietor supplies capital and controls the business.
  • The proprietor receives all profits and bears all losses.

  • Different writers explain the same idea in different words.
  • All definitions show single ownership and single control.
  • All definitions include the idea of risk and responsibility.

  • Single ownership means one owner only.
  • One-man control gives full decision-making power to the proprietor.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A sole proprietorship is the same as a partnership because both involve business ownership.

The proprietor and the business are separate legal persons.
