II. Learn

What is it?

One of the first decisions you’ll make as a business owner is how your
business will be structured. You need to know the advantages and
disadvantages of each of the different forms of business organization to
make sure you make the right decision for your new business.

All businesses must adopt some legal configuration that defines the
rights and liabilities of business’s ownership, control, personal liability,
lifespan and financial structure. The form of business determines which
income tax return form to file and the company’s and owners legal liabilities.
This is a big decision that has long-term implications, so if you’re unsure of
which form of business is best for your company.

When you form your new business, account for the following:
1. Your (practical) vision regarding the size and nature of your
business
2. The level of control you wish to have
3. The level of “structure” you are willing to deal with
4. The business’s vulnerability to lawsuits
5. Tax implications of the different organizational structures
6. Expected profit (or loss) of the business

Different forms of business organization


 Single/Sole Proprietorship
 Partnership
 Corporation
 Cooperatives

A sole proprietorship is owned and run by one individual who receives all
profits and has unlimited responsibility for all losses and debts.

Advantages
 Filing taxes as a sole proprietorship is relatively easier than
that of a corporation.
 Sole proprietorships typically require less capital to set up and
have easier payroll requirements.
3
 Sole proprietorships are not as heavily regulated as other
forms of organizations.
Disadvantages
 The owner of a sole proprietorship is solely liable for
all debts and actions of the company.
 All personal wealth is linked to the business.
 Financial statements are not required in a sole proprietorship
as are typically required of a corporation, meaning a lack of
financial control is very probable.
 It is difficult to find outside investors to fund sole
proprietorships, meaning growth potential is very limited
beyond a certain point.

Partnership
A partnership, of which various forms exist, is an arrangement where
parties agree to cooperate to advance their mutual interests.

The three typical classifications of profit partnerships


 general partnerships,
 limited partnerships, and
 limited liability partnerships.
A general partnership exists when partners divide responsibility
for management and liability as well as the shares of profit
or loss according to their internal agreement.

A limited partnership is a form of partnership similar to a general


partnership, except that in addition to one or more general partners
(GPs), there are one or more limited partners (LPs). General Partners
carry more liability, and in cases of financial loss, the GPs will be
liable.

A limited liability partnership (LLP) is a partnership in which some


or all partners (depending on the jurisdiction) have limited liability. In
an LLP, one partner is not responsible or liable for another partner's
misconduct or negligence.

Advantages
 Partnerships are relatively easy to establish.
 With more than one owner, the ability to raise funds may be
increased.
 The profits from the business flow directly through to the
partners' personal tax returns.
 The most obvious advantages to a partnership are the ease in
which they may be established, the combination of a wider pool
of skills and knowledge, and the increased ability to raise more
funds with more partners.
 The business usually will benefit from partners who have
complementary skills.

4
Disadvantages
 Partners are jointly and individually liable for other partners’
actions.
 Profits must be shared with the partners.
 Decision making is divided.
 Business can suffer if the detailed partnership agreement is
not in place.

Corporations

A corporation is considered by law to be a unique entity, separate from


those who own it. A corporation can be taxed, sued and enter into contractual
agreements. The corporation has a life of its own and does not dissolve when
ownership changes.

It’s an artificial being created by operation of law. As artificial being, its


powers, attributes and properties are limited to those expressly authorized by
law or incident to its existence. It has a separate juridical personality.

Advantages
 It is limited liability.
 In regards to transfer of ownership, shareholders can sell their
shares.
 Capital is easier to raise through the sale of stock.
 The company pays fringe benefits.
 There are tax benefits.

Disadvantages
 It is subject to double taxation. (Corporation and shareholder
earnings are taxed.)
 It can be costly to form.
 There are more administrative duties. This entity type is
required by law to have annual meetings, notify stockholders
of the meeting and keep minutes of meetings.

Cooperative

Is an association of persons who have voluntarily joined together to


achieve a common end through the formation of a democratically controlled
organization, making equitable contributions to the capital required and
accepting a fair share of the risks and benefits for the understanding in
which the members actively participate.

Economic Roles of Business Organizations

The role of business in social and economic development cannot be


overstated. Business plays a vital role in the economic development and wealth of
a country. Success in business translates to the economic well-being of a company
and its residents through job creation and offering improved quality of life for the
country’s citizens. Here, we delve into several aspects that relate to the importance
of business in today’s economic environment and society.
5
The Role of Business in the Economy

The definition of economic development as given by Michael Todaro,


is an increase in living standards, improvement in self-esteem needs and
freedom from oppression as well as a greater choice.

The most accurate method of measuring development is the Human


Development Index which takes into account the literacy rates & life
expectancy which affect productivity and could lead to Economic Growth.

It also leads to the creation of more opportunities in the sectors of


education, healthcare, employment and the conservation of the
environment .It implies an increase in the per capita income of every
citizen.

1. Market - A market is a social arrangement that allows buyers and sellers


to discover information and complete voluntary exchanges of goods and
services. Markets allow you as a consumer to purchase the goods and
services that you want. Through markets, information is transmitted
between buyers and sellers about:

1) The goods and services desired by consumers, and;


2) The price of those goods and services

2. Coordinating Trade and Commerce - Commerce is an act of trading


something of economic value such as a good, service, information, or
money between two entities. Trade is what increases our standard of
living. Instead of having to produce everything that you consume on your
own, you are able to trade with others and obtain a higher quality of life.
3. Product or Service Specialization - Businesses bring “specialized”
people, equipment, and other resources together and coordinate the
production of goods and services.

4. Economies of Scale - When more units of a good or a service can be


produces on a larger scale, yet with (on average) less cost input cost,
economies of scale are achieved. This means that as a business
grows and production units increase, a business will have a better
chance to decrease its cost

5. Positive and Negative Externalities - An externality is defined as a


benefit or cost that is imposed on a third party, such as society, other
than the producer or consumer of a good or service, or, more
simply, an economic side effect.
