In this scenario, a partnership needs to be formed between Lou, Jose and Miriam. The percentage should be split into three equal parts. Lou and Jose will run the business and Miriam will be providing with the funds. Miriam along with Lou and Jose should be equally involved in all major decisions related to the business. Lou and Jose will run the business on daily basis. All taxes would be paid individually based on their profits. Of course all licensing, including alcohol licensing needs to be met, along with state laws and regulations. The restaurant/bar would have to obey all employment laws as well. All employees have to be over 21 years of age to be able to serve alcohol drinks to customers. Employees can not drink alcohol during working hours. It is a good idea to have an at will employment contract with all the employees. Due to the fact that alcohol will be served, additional insurance may be required or necessary for the business to have.

The difference between statutory law and common law is that statutory law is a written law where common laws are based on any prior court decisions and are legal binding. For statutory laws the government, state, and local agencies issue written statutes and regulations which eventually become part of statutory law, as for common law it is prior case decisions and rulings that are followed unless a judge finds a big difference in the between the previous case and current case.
Beginning a new business venture sounds like a easy task. All you need is a great idea, opportunity to select your team so you can begin to make some moves and find a few investors to invest in to this dream you have. Before you know it you are making a profit and moving onto a new location. Sounds easy but there is much more that goes into starting a new business than most people may know. To accomplish this, the business has to satisfy several objectives that exclusively add to the business. This paper will narrate some of the particulars of previous works from week two, three, and four with information such as the business and

Forming a business entity requires a great deal of knowledge before any decision is made. There are advantages and disadvantages to each entity and without proper understanding of what they are, individuals could make costly errors and forfeit crucial perks that would be in the businesses best interest.

Their criteria is as follows, (1) create an entity which averts formalities or complexities, (2) develop a structure allowing cousin Xavier to handle the day-to-day, (3) minimize taxes on the entity, (4) avoid any personal liability, (4) keep business in the family only, (5) remain in accordance with the Christian worldview, (which will be the final topic in this discussion).

The brewery will start out with 6 employees which will be the current group of partners creating this plan.

In this scenario, once again I selected the wrong person. I selected the woman because she was older, and being more mature led me to believe that she had more work experience than the two males that were pictured. In my opinion, both males appeared to be too young to have so much work experience; especially having worked as an account executive for a national mortgage lender. They both appeared to be high school or college students.
