# Sole Proprietorship

> Enable and configure sole proprietorship verification in iDenfy KYB to streamline workflows by hiding director and shareholder sections.

## What Is a Sole Proprietorship?

A **sole proprietorship** is a business entity owned and operated by a single individual. It is the simplest and most common form of business structure. There is no legal distinction between the owner and the business — the owner is personally responsible for all liabilities and debts.

## How to Enable Sole Proprietorship

To use sole proprietorship for your custom flow, you must first enable it by following these steps:

* Access our dashboard and Go to the **Business Verification**→**Settings**→**Custom flow** page.
* Create a new custom flow or select the flow you want to update on the Custom Flows page.
* Follow the next steps to enable and configure the sole proprietorship page.

## How to Check If You Set the Flow Up Correctly

You can manually create a new business verification session to check if the flow you updated or created works correctly. To do so:

Go to **Business verifications**→**Create session.** Scroll to business verification flow and select the flow you have updated or created:

Open the generated link and start onboarding (from your client's perspective).

Once you reach **the company details page**, you will see an option to select **Sole proprietorship**.

The sole proprietorship flow starts here. From this step, everything stays the same as in the standard KYB process adjusted for sole traders.

## Where to Find Information When the Form Is Submitted

Find onboarded or active companies on the **Business Verifications**→**Verifications** page. On this page, you can view all companies that are either already submitted or currently in process. By selecting a specific company, you can proceed with the compliance review and decide whether to onboard them or not.
