Mahoney · Answer 1

The answer is: D) It is easy to create a sole proprietorship.

Explanation:

One of the main characteristic of a sole proprietorship is the flexibility of setting it up or closing it.

Since a sole proprietorship is the most basic type of business, it is easy to create and probably the most common type of business in the whole world. For example an accountant or a lawyer setting up an office, or even a housewife selling handicrafts through Ebay.
