owner pays taxes on income from the business as part of his or her personal income tax
payments.

business transactions. The owner is also personally responsible for all debts and
liabilities incurred by the business. A sole proprietor can own the business for any
duration of time and sell it when he or she sees fit. As owner, a sole proprietor can even
pass a business down to his or her heirs.

less than those of corporations, allowing sole proprietors to open a business quickly and
with relative ease.

paper work is required if you choose to file your business name. In most cases, you can
visit your local courthouse and complete a "Doing Business as" or a fictitious name form
to operate under your business name. A small fee is required for completing the
paperwork. You are then given a certificate with the name of your business. Use the
certificate to open bank accounts and apply for business credit cards. Unlike other
business structures, individuals owning sole proprietorships are not required to file
annual reports or legal documents required by some other business structures.

If your business grows to a place that the business structure of a sole proprietorship no
longer works to your advantage, you can easily change your business structure to a
more complex model. The only requirement for going from a sole proprietorship to
another business structure is filling out the paperwork for your new business structure.
You are not required to fill out paperwork with a regulatory body because sole
proprietorships are not governed by regulatory bodies.

7. DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS
Sole proprietors are the sole owners of their businesses and do not split profits with
other owners. One hundred percent profit retention allows sole proprietors to use the
money at their discretion. You can choose to reinvest the money back into the business
to expand the company, start another business or use it for personal reasons.
