SOLE TRADER A sole trader is the most basic type of business structure, and it is relatively straightforward and inexpensive to establish. The major advantage of starting a sole proprietorship company is that you will be legally accountable for all elements of your business as a lone trader. You'll typically make all of the choices regarding how to start and operate your firm but if anything goes wrong you’ll be held accountable which is the biggest drawback of becoming a sole trader..
PARTNERSHIPS A partnership is a firm that is held by two or more persons. Partnerships, like sole proprietorships, can benefit from flowthrough taxation. This means that the income is taxed just once because it is considered as the income of the owners. Partnerships, in general, offer more flexibility than other forms of enterprises, but they also expose you to more risk.
