probably because of the S Corp. status; it's really the same as a sole proprietorship for accounting purposes because there's no double taxation as all income or loss flows through to the stockholders. The primary reason for incorporating (S or C type) is to avoid the unlimited liability a sole proprietorship or ordinary partnership represents. That's a simplisitc answer because now there are LLCs and other forms of business structure that accomplish the same goals. This is probably more information than the thread needs on this! Dee Jay
