Proprietorship: A business owned and managed by a single individual.
Example: A local dry cleaning store
Advantages: Owner earns all of firm's profits, easy to start-up, relatively few regulations,
full control, easy to discontinue
Disadvantages: Owner is responsible for all of firm's debt, unlimited personal liability
(legally bound obligation to pay debts), and lack of permanence (if the owner dies, the
business is over).
