Easy to Establish & Cheap | Proprietorship requires minimal registration compliance & therefore cheaper to incorporate. |
Sole Decision Maker | Since, there is only one person who controls & manages the affairs of proprietorship; it is easier to operate a proprietorship. So, there is no requirement of a board meeting or approval, etc. |
Name of Business | A proprietorship can choose any name as there is no requirement of registering its name as long as it is not infringing any trademark. |
Single Owner & Profits | Proprietorship can be registered & operated by one person. So, it is a natural corollary that he is the sole owner of all the profits earned by the proprietorship. |
