Detailed explanation-1: -A sole-proprietorship has one owner who has unlimited liability for the business. A partnership involves two or more people who combine resources for the business and share profits and losses. A corporation is considered to be a separate legal entity from its shareholders.

Detailed explanation-2: -Corporation. Unlike a proprietorship or partnership, a corporation is a legal entity that is separate from its shareholders. As such, a corporation pays corporate income tax, which is calculated separately from the shareholders’ personal income tax.

This can be two or more people who decide they want to take the necessary legal steps to create a business. A corporation is an independent organization that has its own legal and financial structure.

Detailed explanation-5: -The sole proprietor has control over all business decisions but is also responsible for all the debt, risk, and liability related to the business. A corporation, on the other hand, is its own legal entity, separate from the shareholders who own the company.
