KN: A sole trader is easy to set up and the owner keeps all profits and control.

APP: for e.g... a baker runs the stall alone and decides everything about products and hours.
AN:this leads to quick decisions and direct reward from sales. But the owner bears all risk and personal assets can be at stake. Growth may be limited by the owner’s time. there is liability.

[KN]: One advantage of a sole trader is that they keep all the profit to themselves.
[APP]: For example, if a baker starts a business by themselves they can enhance the ambience of the bakery by the profit they gain and can also buy more machinery which would help them in baking.
[AN]: Thus, this would lead to more sales as the ambience and quality of product would become better, it would further also lead to customer loyalty as the previous customers now can see the business being more developed which helps the business to stay competitive in the market.
