Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Chapter Introduction 2

Introduction There are three main forms of business organizations in the economy today–the sole proprietorship, the partnership, and the corporation.  Each offers its owners significant advantages and disadvantages. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-4

Sole Proprietorships The most common form of business organization in the United States is the sole proprietorship or proprietorship–a business owned and run by one person.  Figure 3.1 Corporations, Partnerships, and Sole Proprietorships Although relatively the most numerous and profitable of all business organizations, proprietorships are the smallest in size. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-5

Sole Proprietorships (cont.) Proprietorships earn almost one-fifth of the net income earned by all businesses, even though they make only a fraction of total sales. Section 1-6

Forming a Proprietorship The sole proprietorship is the easiest form of business to start because it involves almost no requirements except for occasional business licenses and fees.  Most proprietorships are ready for business as soon as they set up operations. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-7

Advantages The advantages of a sole proprietorship include:  ease of starting up  relative ease of management  owner enjoys the profits of successful management  no separate business income taxes  psychological satisfaction  ease of getting out of business Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-8

Disadvantages The disadvantages of a sole proprietorship include:  owner has unlimited liability–full and personal responsibility for all losses and debts of the business  difficulty in raising financial capital  size and efficiency–the business may have to carry a large inventory, or stock of finished goods and parts in reserve  limited managerial experience  difficulty of attracting qualified employees  limited life–firm ceases to exist when owner dies, quits, or sells the business Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-9

Partnerships A partnership is a business jointly owned by two or more persons.  Partnerships are the least numerous form of business organization, accounting for the smallest proportion of sales and net income. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-10

Types of Partnerships The most common form of partnership is a general partnership, one in which all partners are responsible for the management and financial obligations of the business.  In a limited partnership, at least one partner is not active in the daily running of the business, although he or she may have contributed funds to finance the operation. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-11

Forming a Partnership Like a proprietorship, a partnership is relatively easy to start.  Because more than one owner is involved, formal legal papers called articles of partnership are usually drawn up to specify arrangements between partners. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-12

Advantages The advantages of a partnership include:  ease of establishment  ease of management  lack of special taxes  attract financial capital easily  slightly larger size, increased efficiency  easier to attract top talent Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-13

Disadvantages The disadvantages of a partnership include:  each partner is fully responsible for the acts of all other partners  limited partners have limited liability  limited life  potential for conflict between partners  offer increased access to financial capital, but do not always work out  A business may have to file for bankruptcy, a court-granted permission to an individual or business to cease or delay debt payments. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-14

Corporations Corporations account for approximately one-fifth of the firms in the United States and about 90 percent of all sales.  A corporation is a form of business organization recognized by law as a separate legal entity having all the rights of an individual. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-15

Forming a Corporation Unlike a sole proprietorship or partnership, a corporation is a very formal and legal arrangement.  People who would like to incorporate, or form a corporation, must file for permission from the national government or the state where the business will have its headquarters.  If approved, a charter–a government document that gives permission to create a corporation–is granted. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-16

Forming a Corporation (cont.) The charter also specifies the number of shares of stock, or ownership certificates in the firm.  Figure 3.2 Stock Ownership These shares are sold to investors, called stockholders or shareholders.  The money is then used to set up the corporation. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-17

Forming a Corporation (cont.) If the corporation is profitable, it may eventually issue a dividend–a check representing a portion of the corporate earnings–to each stockholder. Section 1-18

Advantages The advantages of a corporation include:  ease of raising financial capital  gain capital by selling additional stock  borrow money by issuing bonds  A bond is a written promise to repay the amount borrowed at a later date.  The amount borrowed is known as the principal.  While the money is borrowed, the corporation pays interest, the price paid for the use of another’s money. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-20

Advantages (cont.) The advantages of a corporation also include:  professional managers run the firm  limited liability for owners  unlimited life  ease of transferring ownership Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1-21

Disadvantages The disadvantages of a corporation include:  difficulty and expense of getting a charter  owners have little say in how the business is run  double taxation of corporate profits, stockholders’ dividends are taxed twice– once as corporate profit and again as personal income  more government regulation Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information.
