  2. 3 Types of Organizations • Sole Proprietorship • Partnership • Corporation

  3. Sole Proprietorship • Businesses owned and run by a single individual • Easiest form of business to start Examples: lemonade stand, lawn mowing

  4. Sole Proprietorship Advantages: • You’re your own boss. • easy to start, • easy to manage, • owner can keep all the profits without sharing with other owners, • doesn't have to pay separate business income taxes, determine own hours, • easy to get out of business.

  5. Sole Proprietorship Disadvantages: • owner has UNLIMITED LIABILITY!!! (full responsibility for all losses, debts, and failures), • difficult to raise financial capital, • size might make it inefficient, • owner may have limited managerial experience or financial funds • difficult to get experienced employees, • limited life span in the business.

  6. Partnership Businesses jointly owned and run by two or more people • General Partnership: all partners share responsibilities • Limited Partnership: at least one partner isn't active in daily business activities • Examples: law firms, physician's groups, architectural firms

  7. Partnership Advantages: • easy to start, • easy to manage, • lack of special taxes on partnership, • easy to get financial capital (you have a partner), • more efficient daily operations (ownerships can share the work load), • easier to attract talented workers

  8. Partnership Disadvantages • In General Partnerships, each partner is fully responsible for actions of other partners. • In Limited Partnerships, a partner's responsibility for debts depends on size of his/her investment in the firm. • Limited life span in the business. Potential conflict between partners. • lack of resources compared to corporation • shared decision-making and profits • unlimited liability

  9. Corporations • Form of business recognized by law as a separate legal entity with all the rights of an individual • Have to file for permission with federal or state government to create • Partially owned by stockholders (investors who buys ownership certificates in the firm) Examples: Ford, GM, ABC, NBC

  10. Corporations Advantages • easy to raise financial capital (can sell stocks to investors, can borrow money by issuing bonds that it will repay with interest), • limited liability for owners, • directors can hire professional managers to run the firm, • unlimited life, • easy to transfer ownership (stockholders can sell their stocks)

  11. Corporations Disadvantages: • double taxation of profits (corporation pays taxes on its profits and stockholders pay taxes on money made), • difficult and expensive to get a corporation charter, • owners/stock shareholders have little to no voice in how business is run, (Even with majority stock) • subject to more government regulation.
