Question

Do you know, and can you describe, the three principal ways a for-profit business might legally organize?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Sole Proprietorship

2. Limited Liability Company (LLC)

3. Corporation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Sole Proprietorship - This is also called a one-man business. It could be your small neighbourhood store and so on. It is usually owned and run by the same person. The owner has unlimited liability and thus can lose his/her personal properties where the business is in debt.

2. Limited Liability Company (LLC) - these are private limited liability companies, and as name implies, the liability of its members is limited to the amount they contribute to the business. The Company is a legal entity and can own, buy and sell properties in its name

3. Corporation - This is a public company, its share is quoted on the stock exchange and can be freely traded. The ownership (shareholders) of the public corporation is different from those who run them (management). The Company is a legal entity and can own, buy and sell properties in its name
