Andy wants to start his own business. He has decided to rent space in a "strip mall" and open a pet shop. Additionally, he will provide a dog grooming service. He figures he can do almost everything himself, though he will need to hire a part-time employee on an "as needed" basis. His friend Lacy has agreed to work when needed. Andy is considering operating his business as a sole proprietorship. What are the primary legal advantages and disadvantages to this form of business ownership for Andy's pet shop?
