Thread: Sole Proprietorship question

Started 2 months, 4 weeks ago by D0MZE
Hi guys, So I have a sole proprietorship company, and my business field is lets say food. Do I need to stick in my business field when applying for business wholesale accounts?

I am no where near educated on this, but have been told you can have a main business name and then branch other business names from that. Again, I am told this and do not know for certain.

Yes, you can mix business activities under one business entity. Just think of sole prop, partnership or corporation as the container for your activities. You can operate your food and your clothing businesses completely independently with two sets of books, bank accounts and tradenames under the same container.

Thanks Just Confused for your information! I thought about Incorporating my corporation, but I don't make enough money yearly to justify the fees of an incorporation and the fees around it (accountant, etc etc) I understand your concern about the banking issue in that they probably will want me to open another business bank account (I am with BMO myself).
