segmented on the basis of Demographic, Geographic and Psycho-graphic.
Demographic: Such segmentation is classified on the basis of gender, culture,
religion, age, income level etc. It will help management of Delicious Dishqo to make an

P8: An appropriate legal form for the venture
There are different legal form for different types of organisation in order to establish
into market in legal manner. It helps company to exist in market for longer period o time
without facing any penalties and fines. Thus, before starting new venture, it is important to
know the legal procedure and laws for the purpose of compliance. Mainly there are three
types of business which are discussed under the below:
Sole proprietorship: It is a kind of business which is owned and controlled business
functions by single person. Such individual is the one who is willing to enjoy whole profit
solely. The owner has unlimited liability which means he is personally liable to pay all debts
of business. Less amount of funds are required to start such kind of business along with less
regulatory requirements. As a single owner, all profits and losses are bear by himself.
Partnership firms: When singly person is unwilling to start business solely and wants
support from others then such type of company are formed. In which two or more meet
together and form company with an aim of earning huge profits. In this type of company, the
partners carry limited liability which means they are liable to pay business debts only up to
the extent amount of capital they invested into business. Partnership deed has been formed
which contains all terms and conditions regarding sharing profit/loss ratio, capital investment
etc.
Company: It includes private and public company. In this, business is distinct from
their owner. They need to follow many regulations which are imposed by government in
order to maintain their sustainability.

In the present assignment report, Delicious Dishqo restaurant business has formed as
a partnership firm due to getting large amount of funds from their partners. Due to heavy
competition in market, the business may faces losses thus can be shared with their partners
due to which the burden on single person will be minimised. In addition with this, adding
partners in the business will help in adding new ideas and concepts of making business more
successful (Launching a new venture, 2018.).
CONCLUSION
It has been concluded from the above project report that starting a new venture is
quite difficult task due to high competitions, lack of resources, lack of support, new in market
etc. due to which the management are directed to make an effective decision and plans so as
to make business more successful. As Delicious Dishqo comes into UK market with an
objective of fulfilling customer’s needs and preferences and earn huge profit thus required to
raise funds in order to adopt an effective technologies, promotional tools etc. in order ton
achieve growth within shorter period of time.
