Sole Proprietor
A sole proprietor is a legal business entity.
The legality of it is in that the owner of a business has the privilege of taking all the profit from the business but
he or she is also liable for all debts and liabilities. Only natural persons can be sole proprietors.
Sole proprietors own 100% of the business and are also 100% percent liable for the debts and liabilities of the business.
For example, Taiger Woolds, quits golf and starts a pharmacy and wants to call it “Holly House of Drugs.”
As required by law, he obtains a business license and registers “Holly House of Drugs,” as his DBA doing business as trade name.
He also takes care of the sales tax for the drugs by obtaining a sellers permit to collect tax on the drug sales.
The first year, Taiger Woolds makes a lot of money, takes all the profit and spends it on prostitutes and gambling in Las Vegas.
He also forgets to pay his debts that had incurred to open the pharmacy. His debtors get a debt judgment and foreclose on his
pharmacy and the inventory but that is not enough to pay his debt. Debtors move and seize his mansion along with his expensive
Dino Ferrari luxury car.
Taiger consults with an attorney who tells him that he should have formed an LLC or incorporated the pharmacy. Had he done
so, the debtors could not go after his home and the Ferrari.
On the other hand, if Taiger did not have a lot of assets such as the sports car, he could start a sole proprietor and
perhaps when he made some money could convert to an LLC or Corporation.

What is a DBA?
DBA stands for Doing Business As. It is an abbreviation for a business name or trade name.
So, if my business name is "The 3 Maskateers," this name would be my doing business as name, namely the DBA.
Hence, the saying, if you have a trade name, you will need to register it with a DBA certificate.
What is a DBA form?
A DBA form contains information about a trade name of a business at a certain address.
For example, if your business name is Beauty and the Bistro for your bistro business,
that name must be registered on a DBA certificate that is called
a DBA certificate or a fictitious business name certificate.
Why Do I Need to File a DBA?
This is because a trade name
is something not real, and thus fictitious that you thought out of your own mind. So, since it is a name
that you trade under, you must registered to make it official and the public can search and find out who
that trade name belongs to and who filed the form under what address.
Should I Start My Business Now?
Start your business today. Whatever you can conceive, you can achieve. Whatever the mind of man can conceive
and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of
purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches – Napoleon Hill
