SMALL BUSINESS:
SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP
If you have decided to set up your own business you should choose the legal form which it will take. There are three legal forms to choose from: sole proprietorship, partnership, and corporation (limited company). No one form is better than another. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. The important thing is to be sure the chosen form is best for you.
Many businesses are sole proprietorships, which means that they are owned and run by one person. Setting up a sole proprietorship is easy, it does not need many formalities. As a sole trader, a person is fully responsible for the success or failure of his (her) business. Any profits go to the owner; any losses are his or her responsibility as well. If losses become greater than the investment, the owner is responsible for paying them, even if this touches all personal assets. This feature is called unlimited liability. .
There is no legal difference between the owner and the business. As the business is personal to the owner, it is liquidated upon the death of the owner. Finances for a sole trader are usually limited to his or her own savings or to what can be borrowed from family or friends. Therefore sole proprietorships are usually small businesses.
When a proprietor wants to expand a business, one way to do so is to form a partnership, a business formed for profit by two or more coowners. The rights and duties of a partnership are regulated by laws and by a legal agreement made by the co-owners. Usually an agreement states how much capital each partner has put in, how the profits will be shared, and how the business will be run between the partners.
All partners are legally responsible for any of the firm s activities, in other words each partner has unlimited liability, meaning that all partners are liable for the debts of the business. They share the risks and the profits or losses also¬ associated with their business.
A way to avoid the risks of unlimited liability is to form a limited partnership. In a limited partnership there are two kinds of partners - general and limited. General partners have unlimited liability for the business. The liability of limited partners is limited to the amounts of their investments. However, in exchange for this limited liability, limited partners are usually not allowed to take an active part in the company's management. There must be at least one general partner in such kind of partnership.
