Dontrell 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 dog grooming services.

Dontrell is considering operating his business as a sole proprietorship. What are the primary legal advantages and disadvantages to this form of business ownership for Dontrell's pet shop?
