Paul - 

There’s no bias against sole proprietorships, but recognize that there’s often a lack of readily verifiable 
documentation (unlike a registered legal entity) and the same ease with which we accept representations 
of a purported genuine resource holder aids those who frequently attempt to hijack your number resources.
