Sole Proprietorship
Advantages
Its creation requires only registration with the Trade and Companies Register (RCS) or in the trades and no minimum capital is required (as a sole proprietorship does not own assets). The steps for the creation of a sole proprietorship are simplified and less expensive.

Disadvantages
