Types of Business Organizations (Philippines) I. Single Proprietorship

Sole Proprietorship is a business structure owned by an individual who has full control/authority of its own and owns all the assets, personally owes answers all liabilities or suffers all losses but enjoys all the profits to the exclusion of others.

Government Agency in-charge Department of Trade and Industry of Sole Proprietorship businesses:

The single proprietor has unlimited liability in the sense that creditors of his business may proceed not only against the assets and property of his business but after his own personal assets and property. Creditors with whom he had incurred personal debts may also run after the assets and property of his single proprietorship business. Simply put, the law does not make any distinction between his personal affairs and his business transactions. Before the eyes of the law, they are one and the same, his business being a mere extension of his person. II. Partnership
