Sole proprietors need to comply with licensing requirements in the states in which they’re doing business, as well as local regulations and zoning ordinances. The paperwork and formalities, however, are substantially less than those of corporations, allowing sole proprietors to open a business quickly and with relative ease – from a bureaucratic standpoint. It can also be less costly to start a business as a sole proprietor, which is attractive to many new business owners.
