Which type of business entity allows a single owner to conduct professional services, own all the assets of the business, and enjoy limited liability?
  1. Limited liability partnership
  2. Professional corporation
  3. Sole proprietorship
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C - A sole proprietorship allows a single owner to enjoy limited liability. Sole proprietors own all of the assets of the business as opposed to a partnership, trust or corporation. For federal tax purposes, a limited liability company with one member is treated as a sole proprietorship.

Limited liability partnerships are entities where all partners have a form of limited liability and the partners can manage the business directly. Professional corporations are corporations organized for the sole purpose of rendering a specific professional service.
