Sole proprietorships are not legal entity. (Their owner is a “legal entity”, but the business itself is not separately.)

Partnerships were not generally legal entities in the US prior to states adopting 1997 revisions to the Uniform Partnership Act model law (only 37 of 49 states who adopted the original law, apparently, have adopted the 1997 revision); I'm not sure if any of the states that don't use the 1997 RUPA still don't make partnerships legal entities.

Ok. When I mean examples, I mean specific examples. Do you have, e.g., examples of a sole proprietorship being discussed as a company?
