# Selling on Stripe without a separate business entity

You can use Stripe to sell a product if you have not established a separate business entity to do so. Stripe supports the following alternative business types that you can choose from when signing up:
* [Sole proprietorship](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sole_proprietorship): If you do not have a separate entity and operate by yourself.
* [Partnership](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partnership#United_States): If you do not have a separate entity and operate with others.
