Sole Proprietorship

Explanation:

Charles is planning to start a sole proprietorship business. It is the most common form of business ownership.

This is the form of business owned, managed and operated by a single individual. Here, there is no distinction between the business and the owner. The owner of the business will have total control of all the profits incurred in the business and solely be responsible for all losses incurred as well.
