"The owner of a sole proprietorship typically signs contacts in his or her own name because the sole propiertorship has no separate identity under the law".
few advantages of sole proprietorship are :owners can establish a sole proprietorship,easily,instantly and inexpensively.
No tax 
Owners may freely mix business or personal assets. 

Disadvantage 
owners are subject to unlimited personal liability for all debts , losses and liabilities of the business.
sole proprietorship rarely survive the death or incapacity of their owners and so do not retain value.
