Sale of a sole proprietorship - Goodwill

Your question is as follows: "How do I register the sale of my business?"

In addition, you have ticked "Final Year of operations".

NOTE: The company is not incorporated, you were a self-employed person.

You may have stopped all activities or sold your business.

If it is a sale, you have sold the goodwill of your business, plus the inventory of your business. In addition, you may never have thought of claiming depreciation for the goodwill of your business.
