For sole proprietory concern, there are no formalities involved in creating a sole proprietorship that will operate under the owner's name, other than obtaining licenses or permits related to the trade or profession of the owner. For Partnership Firm, a partnership is two or more people agreeing to operate a business for profit.partnership operates under a fictitious name, the partners must register it with the state or local government. Each partner has the right to participate in the management of the business and to share equally in profits and losses, however, partners may agree in writing to an unequal allocation of management control and profits and losses.
