Sole Proprietorship
A sole proprietorship is a business owned and operated by a single individual. This structure is characterized by the owner having full control over the business operations and decision-making processes. The owner is personally responsible for all aspects of the business, including debts and liabilities, which means there is no legal separation between the owner and the business. This form of business is often chosen for its simplicity, ease of setup, and direct control.
Partnership
A partnership involves two or more individuals who share ownership of a business. These owners, known as partners, collaborate in managing the business and share profits, losses, and liabilities according to their agreement. The partnership structure allows for shared resources, skills, and responsibilities, but also entails shared liability, meaning each partner is personally responsible for the debts and obligations of the partnership.
