: A single-member limited company would be the equivalent of Sociedade Unipessoal de Responsabilidade Limitada, which is different from Sociedade Unipessoal Anónima.

: A sole trader has no corporate legal personality, i.e. it has no existence separate from the corresponding natural person. A sociedade anónima unipessoal exists independently of its shareholder, so the owner, can change, but the company remains the same.

: This is wrong - you can't just ignore "sociedade" and "anónima".

Adrian MM.
: It's sole proprietor/ship in AmE. In BrE a sole trader may - legalistically & contrary to Mark R.'s narrative - be an 'entity' with separate a/cs, arguably create a 'floating charge' over the sole trade (assets) & make an 'assignment of book debts'.
