A sole proprietorship has a distinct disadvantage it is?
- A.
Limited life
- B.
Ease of starting
- C.
Low cost
- D.
Freedom to manage
Correct Answer
A. Limited lifeExplanation
A sole proprietorship has a limited life because it is dependent on the owner. If the owner dies or decides to sell or retire, the business ceases to exist. Unlike other business structures like partnerships or corporations, a sole proprietorship does not have a separate legal existence from its owner. Therefore, the business cannot continue to operate without the owner's involvement. This limited life can make it difficult for the business to attract investors or secure long-term contracts, as there is uncertainty about its continuity.Rate this question:

Doesn't mean you can't try to offer them a "traditional service" or may be better yet...offer a celebrant or have the after meal at the funeral home, or have it catered at there home. Think out of the box ! $800.00 to $1,200.00 Cremation only plans can open the door to "OTHER" less traditional service needs...you have to offer and make them of value. No one is going to ask you....they just think you do the burning....make them know you offer so much more!Rate this question:
