The disadvantage of a Sole Proprietorship is unlimited liability. This means the owner is completely responsible for all debts and liabilities of the business.

These include (1) limited liability: owners are not personally responsible for the debts of the business, (2) the ability to raise capital by selling shares of stock, and (3) easy transfer of ownership from one individual to another.

Detailed explanation-5: -A corporation, sometimes called a C corp, is a legal entity that’s separate from its owners. Corporations can make a profit, be taxed, and can be held legally liable. Corporations offer the strongest protection to its owners from personal liability, but the cost to form a corporation is higher than other structures.
