The purpose of a sole proprietorship is whatever type of business you are running. A sole proprietorship is a business type with one owner. It does not offer the protections of an LLC or corporation.

Sole proprietorship is the simplest, oldest, and most common form of business ownership in which only one individual acquires all the benefits and risks of running an enterprise. In a sole-proprietorship there is no legal distinction between the assets and liabilities of a business and those of its owner. It is by far the most popular business structure for start ups because of its ease of formation, least record keeping, minimal regulatory controls, and avoidance of double taxation.
