are some important and valid reasons for their differences in the structures.

Hachemi (Aliouche, Kaen and Schlentrich 2012). The franchisor companies will be able to use
the money of the other people to make growth of their business.
• The public limited companies are able to gain the better market share if they trade on the stock
exchange. These companies can be run through the investment of the foreign investors. The
suppliers of the products and services will likely to offers to the people through investing in

global recession (Chatterjee, Sherwin and Jain 2013).

trade has been immense. The unemployment factors have been controlled through this way indeed.
The global recession will have to be controlled in this manner as well. The economic environment
for the organizations in UK must go through the issues like inflation and high recession. The
employees in the organizations should be paid their wages in an equal manner.
• The various legislations like the Equal Pay Act 1970 and others should be followed.

runs the professional advisory services for the local businesses.

business ideas to the customers. This is indeed very much crucial for the success of the business
(Lucas 2012). If the organization tends to know about the various issues in the customers, this
will surely be helpful for them to provide better solutions to their problems as well.
• The customer profiling has been considered as an integral process in this context. The
workshops will be very important to understand the desires and demands of their customers
(Giltinane 2013). Thus they must segment their business markets and separate the customers
according to the age. The customer profiling will help the organization to address the various
issues that the organization in the scenario face.
