Today, a lot of
startups are solopreneuring ventures with one full-time
employee, the owner.
Solo
entrepreneur
is a professional who chooses to go into business by him-
or herself (“go solo”) and grow a business without employees. The Solo
Entrepreneur may also be called a solopreneur, self employed,
sole proprietor, free agent, freelancer, or home based business owner
(although not all Solo Entrepreneurs are home-based.) Other terms used by
government agencies that count and classify solo entrepreneurs include:
nonemployer business, no-employee business, and SOHO (small office - home
office).
