➢ Sole Proprietorship - These businesses are owned by one person, usually, the individual
who has day-to-day responsibility for running the business. Sole proprietors can be
independent contractors, freelancers or home-based businesses.
➢ Partnership - two or more people share ownership of a single business. Like
proprietorships, the law does not distinguish between the business and its owners. The
partners should have a legal agreement that sets forth how decisions will be made,
profits will be shared, disputes will be resolved, how future partners will be admitted to
the partnership, how partners can be bought out or what steps will be taken to dissolve
the partnership when needed. In establishing a partnership, it is extremely important to
make sure everything is outlined in case things go sour, especially in the case of starting
a business with a loved one or friend. Seek legal advice to create a partnership
operating agreement to hash out all business decision possibilities including succession
or exit plans.
➢ 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. Three types of Corporation are C-corporation, S- corporation and Limited
Liability Company.
