There are numerous business types that Mr Wong can enter into. The one that I will recommend will be a convenience store. He can pursuit this path as follows: 1. Sole Trader - which more or less to be controlled and financed solely by him and the advantage of managing self is that all decisions will be made by him, setting up is easy and high degree of control. Lastly, he will be his own boss and have the flexibility of doing things at his own pace, however the consequences of this type of venture is that once he is no longer around to foresee things the business ceases and in terms of cover for any eventuality such as illness or holiday it is difficult to fulfil his role with a cover person. 2. Partnership - he can be in partnership with 2 or dozen partners will be controlled and manage by the partners. This type of venture requires contract and it will govern by Term of the Partnership Act 1890. Each partner has a shared responsibility and each partner bringing in a speciality. It is easy to set up the burden of risk is a share among partners. The downside of partnership is that, there is a potential risk of conflict and partnership dissolved on death of a partner. All partners liable for the debts of the others and unlimited Liability. 3. Private Limited Company - this is usually a small family business owned by 2 and up to 50, shareholders and Directors are elected by shareholders. The advantage of this venture is, it is difficult for a takeover the business. Also,
| A sole proprietorship is easy to create; there is minimal creation cost and time.The single owner has autonomy in decision making; sole owner makes all decisions related to the business and has complete ownership of business’s finances.
There are several different types of business ownership which are most commonly used in business’ and company’s today, these include; Co-operative which is a business owned by its employees, Partnership which is a business owned by between 2 and 20 people, Private limited which is a business owner by a small groups of people who have shares and a Public limited business is owned by private individuals by shares bought and sold on the stock market. A charity is a business with the purpose to help the public, the government is a business owned by the government and lastly a sole trader which is a business owned by only one person.
When it comes to partnerships Alex, Bill, Carl, and Devon will have two options- a general partnership or a limited partnership. Partnerships are beginning to be a business form of the past. Once upon a time, partnerships were “the default form of business and provided the benefit of pass-through taxation, but lacked the important feature of limited liability” (Chrisman, 2010, p. 465). In a general partnership, each partner associated with the entity will be held liable for their own business decisions as well as
SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP: Has only one owner. Easy to start up. Some of the advantages are: owners may do whatever they want to with the business and if they want to go on vacation they can. One of the disadvantages they cannot bring in another person to help run the business. This business form is particularly common.
It would also be beneficial to set up a limited liability company. (LLC) A LLC limits the partner’s liability to your basis in the company
Sole Proprietorship would give you complete control since you assume all the risks, which mean you get all the profits, but you also suffer all the losses and liabilities. There is little to no paperwork to be done with a sole proprietorship. You only pay personal income tax to include Social security. The business doesn’t have to file a tax return, but you are still liable for payroll, unemployment and compensation taxes (Clarkson, Miller, & Cross, 2016).
Besides the sole proprietorship after reading I learned about three basic types of business organizations known as limited liability (LLC), partnership, and corporation. Sole proprietorship is a “business owned and operated by a single person. The business has no separate legal existence from its owner.” (Rogers, 2012) In the textbook it said “Partnership is an association of two or more competent persons to carry on a business as co-owners for profit. The business itself is not a legal entity.” (Rogers, 2012) The law says competent means a partner having contractual capacity and a partnership where each partners simultaneously a principle and agent. You can partner up with a minor but be wise to emancipation or be cautions because minors can void partnership agreements. Partners of a business are owners and managers automatically unless specified otherwise by partners but according to the law they presume equal rights. “Note that while there can be unprofitable partnerships, there is no such thing as a nonprofit partnership. The partners must intend to make a profit.” (Rogers, 2012)
a general partnership. It should be noted, however, that the specific steps and requirements to start an
Concerning your answer to LA1Q1, I agree with you that a sole proprietorship would be the best choice. However, I disagree with your statement that “once he starts, Owen cannot bring others into the business”. That is true to the extent that bringing partners in will end the sole proprietorship, but he is free to transition his business into a partnership (The legal and ethical environment of business, 2014, pg. 352). I believe that many businesses grow and evolve over time and over the life of a business may have various business organizational structures.
Sole trader-it’s a business that is owned by only one person and it can have one or more employees. This type of business organization often succeeds because the owner has total control of businees, the owner keeps all profit and it’s cheap to start-up,but also it can be difficult to raise financial,it may be difficult to specialise or enjoy economies of scale and can also have problems with continuity if sole trader retires or dies.
The advantages to the sole proprietorship are single control over the business and its decisions, easy to start up, less regulations and paperwork burden that the other types of business. The disadvantages are unlimited liability for their company debts and actions. The law does not recognize any distinctions between the owner’s business assets and personal assets. Banks are very skeptical about lending to these types business because there is only one person to hold liable for repaying the debt.
Is the most common business type, where the business is operated and owned by a single individual. In this type of business, the sole proprietor provides capital, does not share profit or loss and runs the business alone. As such, the business and the owner are indistinguishable for tax and legal purposes (Dlabay, 2011). To differentiate this business from other business types, a sole proprietorship is discussed under the following characteristics.
Private company means any company incorporated as a private company by virtue of section 15. S15 state that if a company having a share capital may be incorporated as a private company if its memorandum or articles contain the following:-
Private organization: The private organization is made by the citizens who are not confidentially spoken for contained within the government for generating profits for their personal. The businesses are privately own by some of or one citizens and after operating these businesses are known as a small business. As like Ledbury, it is one kind of private business or organization because of owning it privately and activities for making profits. These types of organization are carrying out the payments for employees.
The couple should operate as a limited companies structure as opposed to a sole trader or joined partnership. Choosing a limited company may be difficult to setup compared to the other two
