Forms of Business Ownership
A business may have a small beginning as a sole proprietorship, later expand into a partnership, and finally become a corporation. Many corporate giants started as sole proprietoriships.
Sole Proprietorships
The oldest, most common form of private business ownership is the sole proprietorship. A sole proprietorship is a business owned and managed by one individual. That person may receive help from others in operating the business but is the only boss; the sole proprietor is the company.
Typically the sole proprietor owns a small service or retail operation, such as a roadside produce stand, hardware store, bakery, or restaurant. The sole owner, often sided by one or two employees, operates a small shop that often supplies goods to a group of regular customers. The capital(money)needed to start and operate the business is normally provided by the owner through personal wealth or borrowed money.
The sole proprietor is usually an active manager, working in the ship every day. He or she controls the operations, supervises the employees, and makes the decisions. The managerial ability of the owner usually accounts for the success or failure of the business.
Many people desire to be their own boss;. A sole proprietorship accomplishes this goal; it has other advantages as well. Sole proprietorship is the easiest way to start a business. The sole owner has all profits earned or losses by operation. Another advantage of the proprietorship is that the business pays no income tax. It is also easy to close a business. A sole proprietorship also has disadvantages, for example, unlimited liability, difficulty in raising capital, limitations in managerial ability, demands on time, difficulty in hiring and keeping high a-chievement employees, and etc.
Partnerships
There are three major types of partnerships. A general partnership is a business with at least one general partner who has unlimited liability for the debts of the business. A limited partnership has at least one or more limited partners. The joint venture is a special type of partnership established to carry out a special project or to operate for a specific time period.
The advantages of a partnership include the following: more capital, combined managerial skills, ease of starting, tax advantages, and etc. The disadvantages of a partnership include the following: unlimited liability, disagreements among partners, investment withdrawal difficulty, limited capital and etc.
Corporations
Some industries, such as automobile manufacturing, computer manufacturing, oil refining, and natural gas production, require millions of dollars to operate a business. Typically such vast sums of money are put together by attracting many investors. The unincorporated forms of business—the proprietorship and the partner-ship—do not attract investors who do not want to make decisions or to be actually involved in managing the firm. The corporation, by contrast, provides a form of business ownership in which owners spread over a wide geographical area can hire professional managers to operate the business. It has the legal rights of an individual: it can own property, purchase goods and services, and sue other persons or corporations. The advantages of a corporation include the following: limited liability, skilled management team, transfer of ownership, greater capital base, and etc. the disadvantages of a corporation include the following: difficulty and expenses of starting, lack of control right to the operation, government involvement, lack of personal interest, double taxation, credit limitations.
The advantages of the sole proprietorship include the following except
选项
A、being their own boss, easy to close a business and demanding on time
B、having all profits and losses, being their own boss and easy to start a business
C、easy to start a business, easy to close a business
D、paying no income tax
答案
A
解析
该题考查内容也是“独资形式(a sole proprietorship)”的部分。题干意为:下列描述中,除……选项以外,均为独资形式的优点。A项意为:自己做老板,关闭公司比较容易,且有时间期限要求。B项意为:自己拥有所有的利润并承担所有的损失。C项意为:开公司容易,关闭公司也容易。D项意为:不需支付所得税。现在,再回头看一下原文,判断对于所有权独资形式优缺点的描述应定位在本部分的最后一段。很显然,除A项中“有时间期限要求”为“独资形式”缺点以外,其余均为正确的优点描述。故A项为正确选项。
