Proprietorship Firm

Proprietorship Firm

A sole proprietorship is a type of entity much distinct from a partnership or a one-person company [OPC]. A sole proprietor is not a legal entity and the liability of the business rests with the proprietor himself. There are flexible work hours besides the fact that the proprietor is charged for the business from his own personal account making it a direct tax on what the business earns. These types of businesses require ample amount of monetary resources along with local licenses approving the owner to start his business.
