A sole trader is a single person who is the exclusive owner of a business. They can still have employees and the owner is entitled to keep all of the profits after tax but is also personally liable for the business’ debts. ### Advantages ![Advantages](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/86d843f5-2ad5-4d6e-88b4-f17261ce07dc/shutterstock_657651616.jpg) - They are the easiest type of business to set up. - The sole trader gets to be their own boss. - The sole trader decides what to do with the profit. - It is easy to change the legal structure if circumstances change. ### Disadvantages ![Disadvantages](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/ce17d784-bb95-4ef8-959c-8dbd1ad3dd47/shutterstock_248863420.jpg) - Unlimited Liability means that there is no legal distinction between the sole trader’s assets and the business’ assets. - It can be hard to raise finance. Banks often see sole traders as riskier. - All the responsibility for making business decisions is yours. Having someone to share decision making with can improve performance. - It can be harder to retain (keep) good employees as they aren’t necessarily given a share of the profits. ## Types of Business Ownership - Partnerships Partnerships are businesses that are owned by 2 or more partners. Each partner has an equal share of the profits and equal say in the decision making process. Examples of partnerships are doctors’ surgeries, dentists or accountancy firms. ### Advantages ![Advantages](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/178d6019-d129-4641-a6a8-db3c47cafd3f/shutterstock_339434960.jpg) - More people means more experience and more ideas. Decisions can also be better as the owners can discuss pros and cons with each other. - It is easier to raise money because banks are more likely to lend to a partnership than to a sole trader. More investments means increased access to finance for the firm and this supports quick growth. - Good employees can be made into partners and this means it is easier to retain the best employees. ### Disadvantages ![Disadvantages](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/f93f1617-32aa-4d47-b8b1-3ba7ed733803/shutterstock_443221540.jpg) - The profits are shared, so if a sole trader decides to go into business with another person, they may end up with a lower profit for themselves. - Like sole traders, partnerships have unlimited liability. - Partners may disagree about business decisions and this can be unpleasant, especially if it is a family-based partnership. - Each partner is liable for the actions of the other partners. This may lead to further friction between partners. ## Types of Business Ownership - Limited Companies Limited companies are businesses that are owned by shareholders. There are 2 types of limited company: private and public. Both share key differences from partnerships and sole traders: ### Limited company is incorporated ![Limited company is incorporated](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/11f203bc-885d-406d-a754-1eb2d0738717/shutterstock_753249688.jpg) - A limited company has a separate legal identity from the owners. - This means that cash, property and debt is in the company’s name and is property (and therefore responsibility) of the company and not the individual shareholders. ### Limited liability ![Limited liability](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/33ea6915-af6d-42ed-acfd-fead3eea679a/shutterstock_631311128.jpg) - Being incorporated means that the shareholders are protected by limited liability. Limited liability means that the shareholders are only legally responsible up to the amount that they have invested. - E.g. if a shareholder invests £10,000 in the purchase of shares, they won't be liable for any debt if the company fails (£10,000 is the maximum they can lose). ### Owned by shareholders ![Owned by shareholders](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/434801a2-8328-4285-8c60-5765ca675d83/shutterstock_485557939.jpg) - Limited liability companies are owned by shareholders. The shareholders of limited companies can have nothing to do with the day-to-day running of the business. - The more shares a person owns, the more control they are likely to have relative to other shareholders. ## Test yourself on The Options for Start-Up & Small Businesses - What is the term used to describe the lack of distinction between a sole trader's assets and their business' assets? - Which of the following is a disadvantage of being a sole trader? - Which of the following is not an example of a partnership? -
