Sole-proprietorship is a one-man (or one-woman) business, run by a single individual without legally registered employees.

In many cases & countries, like in the Netherlands, this is also the official legal name for a freelancer, especially when it concerns specialized professions (photography, design, writing, consultancy etc.) as opposed to salesmanship of a shop etc.
