After opening her own massage therapy practice, what type of employment will Janet have?

Partnership
Corporation
Independent contractor
Sole proprietor

The correct answer is: Sole proprietor

Janet will be classified as a sole proprietor because she has opened her own massage therapy practice. A sole proprietorship is the simplest form of business ownership, where an individual operates a business on their own. In this structure, Janet has full control over her practice, making all the decisions and bearing all the risks associated with the business. In this setup, she is the sole owner and does not share ownership with partners or shareholders, which distinguishes her from other business structures such as a partnership or corporation. She may choose to operate under a business name, but as a sole proprietor, she is still personally liable for all debts and obligations of the business. This form of ownership allows for flexibility and direct management without the complexities that come with more formal structures.
