profit.” – Skinner and Ivancevich
“Business may be defined as any form of commercial activity to satisfy the
economic wants of people at a profit.” – Keith Davis

FORMS OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS?
The five forms of business organizations include the following:
•Partnership
•Corporation
•Sole proprietorship
•Cooperative
•Limited liability company
Sole proprietorship
This popular form of business
structure is the easiest to set up.
Sole proprietorships have one
owner who makes all of the
business decisions, and there is
no distinction between the
business and the owner.
One man’s business is best in the world if that one
man is big enough to manage everything
Partnership
•A partnership is an arrangement between two or more people to oversee business operations and
share its profits and liabilities.
•In a general partnership company, all members share both profits and liabilities.
•Professionals like doctors and lawyers often form a limited liability partnership.
•There may be tax benefits to a partnership compared to a corporation.
Corporation
•A corporation is legally a separate and distinct entity from its owners. Corporations possess many of the
same legal rights and responsibilities as individuals.
•An important element of a corporation is limited liability, which means that its shareholders are not
personally responsible for the company's debts.
•A corporation may be created by an individual or a group of people with a shared goal. That does not
always involve making a profit.
Limited liability company
Limited liability is a business ownership structure that protects shareholders’ personal assets
from losses and debts. The liability is limited to the amount invested in the company. Owners
and partners are not accountable for the firm’s losses and debts.

How to Setting up a business
Conduct market research
Market research will tell you if there’s an opportunity to turn your idea into a successful business. It’s a
way to gather information about potential customers and businesses already operating in your area. Use
that information to find a competitive advantage for your business.
Write your business plan
Your business plan is the foundation of your business. It’s a roadmap for how to structure, run, and grow
your new business. You’ll use it to convince people that working with you — or investing in your company
— is a smart choice.
Fund your business
Your business plan will help you figure out how much money you’ll need to start your business.
If you don’t have that amount on hand, you’ll need to either raise or borrow the capital.
Fortunately, there are more ways than ever to find the capital you need.
Pick your business location
Your business location is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Whether you’re
setting up a brick-and-mortar business or launching an online store, the choices you make
could affect your taxes, legal requirements, and revenue.
Choose a business structure
The legal structure you choose for your business will impact your business registration
requirements, how much you pay in taxes, and your personal liability
Choose your business name
It’s not easy to pick the perfect name. You’ll want one that reflects your brand and captures
your spirit. You’ll also want to make sure your business name isn’t already being used by
someone else.
Register your business
Once you’ve picked the perfect business name, it’s time to make it legal and protect your brand.
If you’re doing business under a name different than your own, you’ll need to register with the
federal government, and maybe your state government, too.
Market your business
Marketing is essential to launching a successful business. It’s how you can get products in
front of your target audience.
Grow your business
Once your business is up and running, consider taking steps to make it grow. New business
owners can take several measures, from seeking additional funding to selling in overseas
markets.
