Generally, it would depend on the type of business. Both are applicable but 'proprietor' may be more suited for certain types of businesses where the business and the place in which it is conducted are one in the same.
Proprietor - is a bit more specific - the owner of a business establishment, a hotel, a restaurant etc.
Owner - is a more generic term - a person who possesses...

I guess they can be called anything they want. There are two different things to consider here. Is he a sole proprieter, a partner, an officer of a corporation? As a business entity, he has a title like Partner, Vice President, President, or Owner. As an employee of a corporation, LLC, or LLP, he may have a working title like General Manager, Assistant Manager, or Operations Superintendent.
So, I guess it depends on what you're writing the letter for.

Depends on the business. Owners just possess the business, owner operators operate the business (usually a truck thing), proprietors usually run shops, and CEO's run large corporations
