This is the simplest form of business one can own. It may take the form of partnership or Sole proprietorship. Unlike a limited Company, a Business name has NO LIMITED liability on it
Briefly are the DEMERITS of a business name in modern business environment
- Sole proprietorship /partnerships use the individual proprietors’ pin when engaging in any business activity- this means that in any case the business runs into any tax issues with KRA, then the individual(s) (the owner(s) will have their pin in problems)
- In Business Name, the Individuals have their names and other details printed on the face of the certificate- this may somewhat expose the proprietor(s)a lot especially where businesses of high stakes are involved
