Can I Be a Sole Proprietor and Have Employees?
Yes! As the sole proprietor, you can hire employees, but you are fully responsible for all business facilities. It’s because, as the sole proprietor, you have no legal separation between you and your business.
In addition, you’ll need to obtain an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS, follow payroll tax regulations, and provide workers’ compensation if required by your state. For instance, if you have a food truck, you can still hire a team to help you.
