Sole Proprietor Application

A sole proprietorship is a unincorporated business owned by one individual, making it the simplest form of business to start and operate. There are over 20 million sole proprietorships operating in the United States and Canada, making it by far the most popular form of business ownership.

In a sole proprietorship, there is no difference between the individual and business for tax purposes.
