Register a Sole Proprietorship Online
A sole proprietorship is the easiest type of business to start. It’s owned by just one person, who reports all the business’s income on their personal tax return. There’s no legal distinction between the owner and the business, meaning the owner is personally liable for any debts or legal issues the business faces. It’s inexpensive to set up, gives the owner complete decision-making power, allows them to write off business losses against personal income, and requires minimal setup time.
