Taxes
As a sole proprietor one will be responsible to report all business profits as personal income. One must also pay self-employment tax on those profits in order to cover Social Security and Medicare.
Hard to Raise Capital
It is more difficult to raise capital as a sole proprietor. There are no partners, shares, or membership interests in a sole proprietorship. As a result, it can be tough to attract investors without first changing one’s business structure.
