Hi
Sole Proprietor Firm:
A sole proprietorship is a business operated by one individual; the business is considered part of the individual, not a separate entity. The business profits and losses are included on the individual's personal tax return, and the individual retains personal liability for the business debts and lawsuits.
Company:
A company can be defined as an "artificial person", invisible, intangible, created by or under Law, with a discrete legal entity, perpetual succession and a common seal. It is not affected by the death, insanity or insolvency of an individual member. The Companies Act, 1956 deal with registration and operation of company in India.
Regards
