I was researching the topic of sole trader/sole proprietor businesses to see if such businesses could have global reach and a global customer base. I would say that they can. It depends, however on what type of business is being operated.
My proposed sole trader business deals with digital products and services, consulting, training and coaching services. I may also offer select physical tangible products for sale in the future. One of these products would be the RI 22 Smart Pills. My business model would primarily be e-based.
Here is some info on sole trader businesses.

I am offering my services via my facebook f-commerce site. Facebook is a social networking site and it is also somewhat of an online community. When reading the above definitions for the term community, you can see that the business community can have a massive global reach thanks to internet technology.
