Part 1
Different types of business organizations and advantages of business structure
There are different sort of organizations namely sole proprietorship, partnership and
corporation. Advantages of these firms in respect to business structure are given below. Sole proprietorship: Sole proprietorship refers to the business that is operated by any
specific individual (Burns and Dewhurst, J. eds., 2016). In such kind of business either
there is owner himself who manage the business or there are two more individuals that
assist one in running business. Advantage and disadvantage of sole proprietorship are
given below.
Advantage
 Entire profit is earned by the owner of business and he does not need to share it with any
other person. However, negative point is that one has to bear entire business risk with
limited available resources.
 Business firm does not need to follow many rules and regulations because business is
carried out at small scale. Partnership: It is type of business under which multiple people together work and
invested in specific proportion in the business. Thus, resources are shared by the
investors. Advantage of partnership are given below.
 Main benefit of partnership is that risk is shared among partners. In partnership business
in agreed ratio all investors share profit and loss as well as resources in the business.
