Sole Proprietorship

Are you the sole owner of a business but have not formed a corporation or a limited liability company? Then you are likely a Sole Proprietorship!

While a Sole Proprietorship does not offer any noteworthy advantage over a distinct legal entity such as a corporation or a limited liability company, an owner must be careful! There are significant disadvantages to operating as a Sole Proprietorship. The largest potential pitfall lies in that the owner and the sole proprietorship are usually viewed as one and the same. The owner of a Sole Proprietorship is personally responsible for the taxes, lawsuits, and other liabilities of the business.

We can help you design a business structure that is as simple to operate as a Sole Proprietorship, but that also offers a liability shield to defend the owner’s personal assets against business related liabilities.
