They are different types of business structures. Before forming a business, entrepreneurs should
carefully select the type of business structure which suits the best to the Enterprise.
Below are three of the business structures discussed: -
 Sole proprietorship is a type of business owned by one individual only. It is the simplest of
the types of businesses as it offers the least amount of financial and legal protection for the
owner. Just like other partnerships or other business structures sole proprietorships don't have
a separate legal entity for the business because the owner of the business shares the same
identity as the company. This is the reason on is fully liable to all the liabilities that occur at
the name of company. Any Businessman choose sole proprietorship because they want to
retain a full control of their company. Another important reason to choose sole proprietorship
as a type of business is that it is relatively easy and in expensive process to form a sole
proprietorship.
 As the name says it all a partnership is a type of business which is owned by to more people.
These are called partners. The owners in the partnership are responsible and liable for all of
the liabilities of the firm (Mikova, 2020). There are many different types of partnership

namely known as General partnerships Limited partnerships and limited liability partnership.
There is a greater exposed to risk in partnership as compare to other type of business but it
offers more flexibility.
 Limited liability companies also known as LLCs are the most flexible type of business among
all. LC combine the features and aspects of both corporations and partnerships. Enable c the
organisation exists as an own legal entity. This saves the owners of the organisation for being
personally payable or liable for any debts in the business.
Compare and contrast tall and flat structure of an organisation.
There many factors that determine the type of organisation that should be chosen in tall organisation
or flat organisation. One of the most important factors is the size of the company as the larger
companies should opt for tall structure and smaller business should have a flat structure.
 Tall organisation is also known as vertical organisation (Stone, 2020). In such organisations
there is a chain of Hierarchy on which the CEO sits at the top with other levels of
Management underneath. In tall organisation the CEO has the most of the decision making.
 Flat organisation which is also namely called a horizontal organisation. In flat organisation
there are a very few levels of management and the employees have autonomy in decision
making process. The employees in flat structure organisations or motivated to work and solve
the company issues all together.
