Explanation:
A sole proprietorship منشأة فردية

, or simply proprietorship (British English: sole trader) is a type of business entity which legally has no separate existence from its owner. Hence, the limitations of liability enjoyed by a corporation and limited liability partnerships do not apply to sole proprietors. All debts of the business are debts of the owner. It is a "sole" proprietor in the sense that the owner has no partners. A sole proprietorship essentially means a person does business in his or her own name and there is only one owner. A sole proprietorship is not a corporation; it does not pay corporate taxes, but rather the person who organized the business pays personal income taxes on the profits made, making accounting much simpler. A sole proprietorship need not worry about double taxation like a corporate entity would have to.

I must confess, this suggested answer is actually inspired by Samar's note. For somereason, however, she appears to have abandoned an excellent translation suggestion and opted for مالك أوحد/المالك الأوحد . She gave the phrase منشأة فردية and my addition is the word صاحب. In any case Samar deserves credit for this suggestion.
