Learners sometimes confuse "proprietor" with "manager" or "employee." A manager runs the business but may not own it, while a proprietor owns it and may or may not manage it. Some learners also think "proprietor" can mean any owner, but in modern English it is most often used for owners of small businesses like shops, cafés, or hotels.
