SOLE PROPRIETOR

1. Many businesses are sole proprietorships, firms owned and operated by a single person. When a person decides to open an independent business, that person is then entirely responsible for its success or failure. Any profits go to the owner, any losses are his or her responsibility as well. If the losses prove to be greater than the investment, the individual is responsible for paying them, even if this depletes all personal assets. In spite of its limitations, the sole proprietorship is well adapted to many kinds of small businesses.

2. One of the advantages of a sole proprietorship is that an owner can make decisions quickly and decisively without having to consult others. And an individual proprietor, by law, pays fewer taxes and at a lower rates than does a corporation. There are disadvantages to this form of business organization, however. A sole proprietorship ends with the incapacity or death of the owner. The assets can be inherited by a person who may then become the operator, but legally the business dies with its owner. Also, it is dependent upon the amount of money the owner has saved or can borrow from his or her family, friends or banks.

3. A small business is often the starting point for developing a new product or service. One person tries out an idea. If it is successful, the business grows, or the product may be bought by a larger firm. Small businesses often grow into large ones, adding to the economic vitality of the nation. The small business can give an individual a chance to gain experience, which the person may use later on a larger scale. It and suits the temperament of many persons who like to exercise initiative and be their own bosses. Small businesses are particularly well suited for meeting specialized local needs. Small businesses provide a service where knowing one's customers is important.
