Sole Proprietorship vs. One-Person Corporation | 10 April 2024

Unlike a one-person corporation, a sole proprietorship does not have a juridical personality separate and distinct from the personality of the owner of the enterprise.

Sole Proprietorship vs. One-Person Corporation

  • A One-Person Corporation is a corporation with a single stockholder. (Section 116, Revised Corporation Code)

  • A sole proprietorship is a form of business organization with only one proprietary owner, a single individual who conducts business under his own name or a business name. (p.3, Commentaries and Jurisprudence on the Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines, Aquino, 2020)

  • Unlike a one-person corporation, a sole proprietorship does not have a juridical personality separate and distinct from the personality of the owner of the enterprise. (Stanley Fine Furniture v. Victor Gallano, G.R. No. 190486, November 26, 2014)
