between the owner and the
business.

to taxation specific to the business)
and has unlimited responsibility for all
losses and debts

by the proprietor and all debts of the
business are the proprietor's.

However, he may have some paid workers to assist him. In
any Case, the ultimate control rests in his hands.
(3) Finance
The necessary capital to run the business is provided by the
sole owner. However, he may borrow from other sources such
as friends or bank as need arises.
(4) Risk
The proprietor himself bears all the risks. No body else has
any stake in the business.

because an unrelated investor has less peace of
mind concerning the use and security of his or her
investment and the investment is more difficult to
formalize;[3]other types of business entities have
more documentation.
 One of the main disadvantages of sole proprietors
is unlimited liability where the owner's personal
assets can be taken away.
 Also, being alone in business, sole proprietors
generally lack money which leads to failure[
 The small size of the business limits the breadth of
management skills because there are fewer people
working together

9.  PARTNERSHIPS
A partnership is the relationship
existing between two or more persons
who join to carry on a trade or
business. Each person contributes
money, property, labor or skill, and

11.  Characteristic of partnerships:

1. Formation

According to the Partnership Act of 1932, there is
no special mode for the creation of a partnership. If
persons between 2 and 20 enter Into agreement
oral or verbal for carrying on a business, with a
private gain, then partnership is formed (10 in case
of banking business). To avoid a, it is desirable that
the articles of partnership be prepared in writing
with legal assistance. The articles of partnership
should cover the rights, duties, obligations and the
arrangements which the parties have mutually
agreed upon.

12.  2. Financing
The capital is made available to the firm by the partners
as per terms of the agreement. It is not necessary that
all the partners should contribute equally to the
partnership. A person who has special skill or ability can
be admitted to the partnership without any capita
contribution.
3. Management
In a partnership business, every partner has a right to
take part in its management. The important business
decisions are taken with the consent of all other
partners.
4. Restriction on Transfer of Interest
No partner can transfer h share to any other person
without the prior consent or willingness of all other
partners.

13.  5. Taxation
. If a firm is registered under the Income Tax Act,
the profit of the firm is first divided among the
partners and then assessed separately.

14.  ADVANTAGES OF PARTNERSHIPS:
 • Partnerships are relatively easy to establish. With
more than one owner, the ability to raise funds may be
increased, both because two or more partners may be
able to contribute more funds and because their
borrowing capacity may be greater.
 • Prospective employees may be attracted to the
business if given the incentive to become a partner.
 • A partnership may benefit from the combination of
complimentary skills of two or more people. There is a
wider pool of knowledge, skills and contacts.

15.  • Partnerships can be cost-effective as each partner
specializes in certain aspects of their business.
 • Partnerships provide moral support and will allow
for more creative brainstorming.
 Business Partnership Disadvantages
 • Business partners are jointly and individually
liable for the actions of the other partners.
 • Profits must be shared with others. You have to
decide on how you value each other’s time and
skills. What happens if one partner can put in less
time due to personal circumstances?

16.  • Since decisions are shared, disagreements can
occur. A partnership is for the long term, and
expectations and situations can change, which can
lead to dramatic split ups.
 • The partnership may have a limited life; it may end
upon the withdrawal or death of a partner.
 • A partnership usually has limitations that keep it
from becoming a large business.
 • You have to consult your partner and negotiate
more as you cannot make decisions by yourself.
You therefore need to be more flexible.

 Partner who takes an active part in the management of
the business is called active partner. He may also be
called 'actual' or 'ostensible' partner. He is an agent of

sense of the term.

any active part in the management of the business. He
contributes capital and shares the profits which is
usually less than that of the active partners. He is liable
for all the debts of the firm but his relationship with the
firm is not disclosed to the general public.
