Types of Business Organizations. A Sole Proprietorship

There are a number of ways to structure a business, and the factors involved in choosing the appropriate legal structure include: the purpose of the organization; the size of the entity; the costs involved in starting the entity; state, federal and local laws and rules governing the business; and tax considerations. Essentially, there are four types of legal structures for business: Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Limited Liability Company, Corporation.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of business organization and these are driven by a number of factors.

A sole proprietorship is the most basic business form and is frequently utilized by a single person owning or running a business on his or her own. Such business enterprises are often run from the person's home. Owners pay taxes on the business profits and this is reflected on individual tax returns. In some states, the costs of a business that is being operated from an individual's home may be deducted from income taxes. However, at the same time, certain counties and states may require a sole proprietor to pay property taxes on the value of any office equipment used for the business. In addition to tax liabilities, sole proprietors are also responsible for the debts of the business.
