Before starting your business there are a number of decisions you will have to make. For example, who should you buy your supplies from? What premises will you work from? How much control do you want to keep in the business? This last question depends on whether you decide to work as a sole trader, a partnership or a limited company.

Suppose you decided to work as a sole trader. It means that you alone have responsibility for the business; you also take all profits after paying income tax on them. What advantages do you have if you work as a sole trader? They are as follows: you do not have to disclose details of your financial affairs except to the tax authorities; you have the final say in any decisions that affect the company. The only disadvantage is that you alone are personally responsible for any business debts.

Partnership. It is a group of between two and twenty people trading as one firm. They share responsibility for debts, decision making and the profits. Partnership can be useful, and effective when partners have skills in different areas. What are the disadvantages of a partnership? All partners are personally liable for any business debts, even if they are caused by mismanagement by another partner. So it is essential to know your partners well and trust them.

A limited company (Ltd.). A company formed by two or more shareholders who put money into the business in return for a share of the profits. They appoint directors who control the company. A limited company must be registered. The advantages of a limited company are: the financial liability of the shareholders is limited. If the business goes bust the personal belongings of the shareholders cannot be taken to pay the debts. You each lose only the value of the shares you own. The disadvantages are as follows: you may find it difficult to get credit from suppliers or loans from banks unless you give personal guarantees that you will pay your debts to them.

Monopoly. Monopoly is a market structure with only a single seller of a commodity or service dealing with a large number of buyers. When a single seller faces a single buyer, that situation is known as bilateral monopoly. There is monopoly when there is only one seller in an industry, and there is competition when there are many sellers in an industry.
