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)

There are a number of forms of ownership that the business can take. The main forms are sole proprietorship, partnership, Limited Liability Corporation, corporation and S corporation. There are advantages and disadvantages to each of these forms that will be discussed in this section. A sole proprietorship essentially has the person as the business. In this situation, the proprietor bears all of the risk involved in the business. Business income flows through to the proprietor's personal taxes. For some individuals there are tax advantages, but for many the appeal of the sole proprietorship is its simplicity. The IRS defines a partnership as a relationship existing between two or more individuals who joint to carry on a business. Partners divide income according to their own agreement and that income flows through to their personal taxes. Partners also have a high level of liability for any legal action that befalls the company.

Sole traders have unlimited liabilities,meaning that in terms of law there is no separation between them,hence the sole trader is also liable for the debts incurred within the business, which makes it very risky to run for a long-term.
