Four representative features of a Sole Trading Concern:

  1. Single ownership — the business is owned by one individual, who alone invests capital and takes all profit.
  2. No separate legal entity — the law does not distinguish the business from its owner.
  3. Unlimited liability — the owner's personal assets are exposed to business debts once business assets are exhausted.
  4. One-man control — the owner alone makes every management decision, though employees may assist in operations.

(Other acceptable features: no compulsory registration to begin trading in most lines of business; lack of continuity, since the business is legally tied to the owner's life.)

✓Final answer

Single ownership, no separate legal entity, unlimited liability, and one-man control are four core features of a Sole Trading Concern.
