agree  Antje Harder: "sole proprietor", "sole trader" or "private firm" (according to Gullberg, but to my mind that rather refers to "enskild firma"), see also http://www.proz.com/kudoz/484319.

  -> yea, this one doesn't deserve any points, but I wanted to ask, what is a "private firm" ?

agree  David Shannon: 'enskild näringsidkare' - 'sole proprietor' or 'sole trader'
