What is a sole proprietorship account?
A sole proprietorship is an unincorporated business that has just one owner who pays personal income tax on profits earned from the business. A sole proprietorship has no separate legal existence or identity beyond that of the sole proprietor. Sole proprietorship accounts may be called “Doing Business As” or “DBA” accounts and reference “Doing Business As” or “DBA” in the account title.
