A single trade business is established by one person with his or her own resources.
This form of organization is set up for the following purposes:
(I) Channel Individual funds:
Individuals have a small surplus with them. These funds are not enough to set up a large company. People may not like to risk their money in businesses that have no say or control. Instead of keeping your money idle, it's better to set up a small business. Therefore, a single trade business provides a channel for the productive use of individual funds.
(II) Strengthening Distribution Channels:
The only trading business is generally small-scale. People have set up small retail stores under the sole proprietorship. Retailers are an important link in the distribution chain. He is in direct contact with consumers. Without the active involvement of only one trader, the distribution channel from producer to consumer cannot be successful.
(III) Serving Consumers:
Small traders come into direct contact with consumers. Consumers want to buy their daily requirements from the nearest location. The only trader has a store wherever it is available to consumers. Consumers save time by purchasing daily necessities from the nearest retail store.

By launching the only trading business, the owner created jobs for himself. Instead of looking for a job outside, this is a form of organization that helps people create their own jobs.

To avoid the concentration of wealth in a small number of funds, a single trading business helps its distribution among many people. When a large number of people enter different businesses, it may be small, but it helps to distribute economic wealth.
(VI) Supporting Large Companies:
The success of large businesses is also related to the support provided by small business units. Smaller units provide ancillary services to larger units. Larger units require many smaller components, from smaller units. As such, a single trade business serves large units by providing everything they do not want to manufacture in-house. In Japan, all large units rely on supply from small units.
Q3) Explain the legal position of a single trade business. 8
A3) The following points explain the legal position of a single trade business.
(I) There is no specific law that requires registration, etc. for this business. The joint-stock company must be established under the Companies Act of 1956, the Partnership company is subject to the Partnership Act of 1932, and the only trading business is not subject to anything. Such a decree. Therefore, this business may be started and dissolved at the discretion of the owner, regardless of statutory provisions.
(II) Single trade business is subject to general land law. If there is a provision to obtain a license to start a specific business, the sole proprietor also obtains a license before starting such a business. Those who want to start a wine shop are expected to get a license from the state government. Sole proprietors who want to enter this business are certainly expected to comply with this law.
(III) The sole proprietor and her business are the same. Business exists only with sole proprietors. If he dies or otherwise disappears from the scene, the business will be dissolved. The owner and his business have one personality.
(IV) The sole proprietorship's liability is unlimited. When a business is dissolved, there is no distinction between business assets and private assets of a sole proprietor, and business loans and personal loans.
Self-Employed Suitability:
The amount of capital and management skills required for a particular business influences decisions about the shape of the organization. Smaller businesses have fewer capital requirements and sole proprietorships are the most appropriate form of organization.
The need for capital is increasing due to the improvement of industrial technology and the devising of new production methods. Other forms of organizations such as Partnerships and corporations have also become popular. There are certain types of companies where the sole proprietorship is still the most appropriate form of organization. This type of organization is also suitable for certain situations.
These situations are as follows:
(I) If the market is local:
If the market for products is confined to a particular location, the scale of business operations will be small. The amount of capital required is low and normal management skills are sufficient. In this situation, the sole proprietorship is best. Most retailers are managed by only one trader.
(II) If you need personal contact with the customer:
Personal contact with the customer may be required. Customers may have preferences or preferences for certain things. In this situation, a self-employed organization is suitable. Doctors and lawyers need to be in direct contact with patients and clients. Customers may like to sew their clothes together. Therefore, in all of these cases, the sole proprietor will be more useful.
(III) Speculative Business:
In a speculative business, product demand and prices change rapidly. Businessmen need to make quick decisions. Sole proprietors can make immediate decisions depending on the situation. He doesn't have to talk to anyone else. So, he can decide things for himself. No other organization is as speculative as the sole proprietorship.
Q4) What are the social needs of a private business? 8
A4) The social need is due to the following reasons.
(I) Employment of a large number of people:
This form of organization can be started alone, but he takes others to help. The number of only traders is very large in all countries and they employ many as their helpers. Therefore, sole proprietors can provide employment to a large number of people.
(II) Need for less capital:
This form of organization can be undertaken by anyone by any means. Even people with few resources can start a business on a small scale. Vegetable sellers can start a business for hundreds of rupees and regain capital at the end of the day. Therefore, this type of form encourages people to do independent business.
(III) Low risk:
In general, the sole proprietorship is started on a small scale and less investment is made. Because of the low risk, you can change your business if it is not appropriate.
(IV) Offering low-priced products:

The only number of traders is large, they are in fierce competition with each other, and consumers are offered products at competitive rates. In general, business expenses are low. This allows the only trader to sell their products at a lower price.
(V) Equal Distribution of Income:
This form of organization acts as a constraint on the monopoly tendencies of other forms of organization. Many people enter the business. Therefore, this results in an equal distribution of income. Everyone can invest their savings and get a fair return on it. When a business is in the hands of a few, it brings a concentration of wealth in the hands of only some.
(VI) Useful for small producers:
The only trader buys goods from small producers and sells them to consumers. Many intermediaries are excluded from distribution channels. Some of the profits that the intermediary earns in the form of commissions are left to the producers and some are passed on to consumers in the form of low prices.
(VII) Helping Consumers:
Consumers are helped by some traders in making their purchases. The only trader opens a store on the street so that consumers can buy from nearby stores. Merchants supply products even at the front door.
(VIII) Functions as a training center.
The only trading business offers the opportunity to learn business techniques. With less investment, you can afford to learn by trial and error. You can expand it later by bearing the various strengths and weaknesses of your business. Therefore, this is a good organizational form for receiving business training.

A12) Types of Partnership
Partnerships can be divided into different types by state or place of business. Here are some general aspects of the three most common types of Partnerships.
General Partnership
A Partnership is made up of two or more owners who run the business. In this Partnership, each partner represents a company with equal rights. All partners have the right to participate in management activities, decision making and manage the business. Similarly, profits, liabilities, and liabilities are evenly shared and evenly divided.
In other words, the definition of a Partnership can be described as a Partnership in which rights and responsibilities are equally shared in terms of management and decision making. Each partner must take full responsibility for the debts and responsibilities incurred by the other partners. If one partner is sued, all other partners are considered responsible. The creditor or court holds the personal assets of the partner. Therefore, most partners do not choose this Partnership.
Limited Partnership
This Partnership includes both general and limited partners. The General Partner has unlimited liability and manages the business and other limited liability partners. A limited liability company has limited control over its business (limited to his investment). They have nothing to do with the day-to-day operations of the company.
In most cases, Limited Partners only invest and share profits. They are not interested in participating in management or decision making. This non-involvement means that they do not have the right to compensate for the loss of Partnership from the income tax return.
Limited Liability Partnership
In a limited liability Partnership (LLP), all partners have limited liability. Each partner is protected from the legal and financial mistakes of the other partners. Limited liability Partnerships are similar to limited liability companies (LLCs), but not limited liability Partnerships or Partnerships.
Voluntary Partnership
A voluntary Partnership can be defined as if the expiration of the Partnership company is not mentioned. Under Section 7 of the Indian Partnership Act of 1932, the two conditions that a company must meet in order to become a voluntary Partnership are:
- Partnership agreements must not have a fixed expiration date.
- No special Partnership decisions should be mentioned.
Therefore, if the term and decision are stated in the contract, it is not a voluntary Partnership. Also, if the expiration date of the company is initially set, but the operation of the company continues beyond the above date. It is free to be considered a Partnership.
Q13) What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Partnership? 12
A13) Forming partnerships offers unique benefits that can affect every aspect of your business, from finances and taxes to work-life balance and productivity.
1. Not subject to income tax
Partnerships must submit information about their annual financial performance (income, profits, losses, profits, etc.) to the IRS, but they do not have to pay income tax directly.
Instead, partnerships "pass through" profits (or losses) to partners. Similarly, all partners must include a share of the profits or losses incurred in their business on their personal tax returns.
2. Access to complementary skills and knowledge
Partnerships can provide access to important skills and experiences, especially in areas of lack. Most successful partnerships work well because partners have complementary skill sets and help each other to bridge the gap in expertise.
For example, you may have sales and business development experience, but your partner may be a certified accountant.
3. Split overhead and other costs
Overheads are one of the biggest challenges in building a new business. Sharing start-up and other costs is an attractive aspect of a partnership.
4. Increased productivity and expansion opportunities
Partners not only take on new business workloads and other responsibilities, but also help you connect with other business professionals and grow your business in ways you never imagined.
5. Improvement of work-life balance
With a partner, you don't have to deal with every detail of your business. In this way, having a partner can improve your work-life balance. Studies have shown that this leads to increased productivity.

6. Second perspective
One of the main benefits of a partnership is that there is someone at a different level of perspective who can provide valuable information when making important decisions.
7. Less form and obligation
Unlike limited liability companies and companies, partnerships do not need to be registered with the Secretary of State. Most states legally recognize partnerships when they start a business.
8. Easy to convert to other business structures
Converting a partnership to an LLC is easy if you later decide that you need to protect your business further. The official conversion document must be submitted to the Secretary of State to begin the process.
9. Equal ownership and management
Co., Ltd. And corporate operators can meet the demands of shareholders and the board of directors, but business partnerships include more freedom. Members only respond to each other and don't have to worry about outside decision makers.
10. Privacy and confidentiality
Partnerships do not need to disclose financial or organizational information. Companies and businesses, on the other hand, need to make this information available to the IRS and shareholders.
For example, a listed company must distribute its annual report to shareholders and post it on its website for public disclosure.
Disadvantages of partnership
Partnerships have some freedom, but they also have drawbacks. The disadvantages of partnerships highlight why it is important to choose a reliable partner.
1. Increased responsibility
One of the main drawbacks of partnerships is the equal liability of each partner for losses and debts.
Each partner has unlimited personal liability. In other words, you are responsible for any bad business transactions your partner makes. Every decision your partner makes has potential consequences for your personal wealth and finances.
For example, if your business is unprofitable and you can't pay with a loan borrowed by your partner, creditors can sue you and rob you of your personal assets such as your bank account, car, or home.
2. Decreased autonomy
Partners have equal decision-making power (unless otherwise specified in the amendments to the partnership agreement. Decisions must be made jointly, which means compromises may be required.

For many, the limited liability structure is a sign of fame. Some informals are attractive to those involved in the organization, but they can be worried about investors investing money or collaborating with businesses.
7. Shared profit
Partners need to share profits in the same way they share labor and overhead costs. Partners mean more opportunities to increase revenue, but they also mean that they need to share revenue according to the terms of the contract.
Q14) What is Joint Stock Company? What are its features? 8
A14) Businesses owned by investors or shareholders are known as joint-stock companies. A joint-stock company is a voluntary organization of individuals who provide money or monetary value for a common purpose. No one can enter this business without his / her interest.
You can raise public funds by issuing shares. To make large investments, public funds are used for operations such as the production, expansion and purchase of assets.
Definition of Company:
"A corporation is intended as an organization of many people who donate money or the value of money to common stock and use it for some common purpose."
-Justice Lindley
"A corporation is an artificial person who is invisible, intangible, and exists only from a legal point of view."
-Chief Justice Marshall
"A joint-stock company is a voluntary association of individuals for profit that divides capital into transferable shares and whose ownership is a condition of membership."
Features of the Company:
To clarify more about a corporation, let's move on to the following characteristics.

The company is an artificial person created by law. It can be said that all business activities are carried out by all human resources, but that does not mean that the company is a natural person. When doing business, we use the company name.

6. Ownership and management:
The company and its members are separate from each other, and when it comes to ownership, shareholders are the owners who own and invest in the company. When talking about control, shareholders elect a board of directors that controls the overall operation of the business.
Therefore, ownership and management are different. The company is owned by shareholders and the management of the operation of the company is in the hands of the board of directors elected by the owner of the company.
7. Responsibility:
In the company, members have limited liability within the scope of the stock capital provided by the members.
Example: If a person buys 2000 shares each worth 10 rupees, that person's liability is limited to 20,000 Rs only.

To avoid the concentration of wealth in a small number of funds, a single trading business helps its distribution among many people. When a large number of people enter different businesses, it may be small, but it helps to distribute economic wealth.
(VI) Supporting Large Companies:
The success of large businesses is also related to the support provided by small business units. Smaller units provide ancillary services to larger units. Larger units require many smaller components, from smaller units. As such, a single trade business serves large units by providing everything they do not want to manufacture in-house. In Japan, all large units rely on supply from small units.
Q3) Explain the legal position of a single trade business. 8
A3) The following points explain the legal position of a single trade business.
(I) There is no specific law that requires registration, etc. for this business. The joint-stock company must be established under the Companies Act of 1956, the Partnership company is subject to the Partnership Act of 1932, and the only trading business is not subject to anything. Such a decree. Therefore, this business may be started and dissolved at the discretion of the owner, regardless of statutory provisions.
(II) Single trade business is subject to general land law. If there is a provision to obtain a license to start a specific business, the sole proprietor also obtains a license before starting such a business. Those who want to start a wine shop are expected to get a license from the state government. Sole proprietors who want to enter this business are certainly expected to comply with this law.
(III) The sole proprietor and her business are the same. Business exists only with sole proprietors. If he dies or otherwise disappears from the scene, the business will be dissolved. The owner and his business have one personality.
(IV) The sole proprietorship's liability is unlimited. When a business is dissolved, there is no distinction between business assets and private assets of a sole proprietor, and business loans and personal loans.
Self-Employed Suitability:
The amount of capital and management skills required for a particular business influences decisions about the shape of the organization. Smaller businesses have fewer capital requirements and sole proprietorships are the most appropriate form of organization.
The need for capital is increasing due to the improvement of industrial technology and the devising of new production methods. Other forms of organizations such as Partnerships and corporations have also become popular. There are certain types of companies where the sole proprietorship is still the most appropriate form of organization. This type of organization is also suitable for certain situations.
These situations are as follows:
(I) If the market is local:
If the market for products is confined to a particular location, the scale of business operations will be small. The amount of capital required is low and normal management skills are sufficient. In this situation, the sole proprietorship is best. Most retailers are managed by only one trader.
(II) If you need personal contact with the customer:
Personal contact with the customer may be required. Customers may have preferences or preferences for certain things. In this situation, a self-employed organization is suitable. Doctors and lawyers need to be in direct contact with patients and clients. Customers may like to sew their clothes together. Therefore, in all of these cases, the sole proprietor will be more useful.
(III) Speculative Business:
In a speculative business, product demand and prices change rapidly. Businessmen need to make quick decisions. Sole proprietors can make immediate decisions depending on the situation. He doesn't have to talk to anyone else. So, he can decide things for himself. No other organization is as speculative as the sole proprietorship.
Q4) What are the social needs of a private business? 8
A4) The social need is due to the following reasons.
(I) Employment of a large number of people:
This form of organization can be started alone, but he takes others to help. The number of only traders is very large in all countries and they employ many as their helpers. Therefore, sole proprietors can provide employment to a large number of people.
(II) Need for less capital:
This form of organization can be undertaken by anyone by any means. Even people with few resources can start a business on a small scale. Vegetable sellers can start a business for hundreds of rupees and regain capital at the end of the day. Therefore, this type of form encourages people to do independent business.
(III) Low risk:
In general, the sole proprietorship is started on a small scale and less investment is made. Because of the low risk, you can change your business if it is not appropriate.
(IV) Offering low-priced products:
In this way, we provide consumers with products at low prices. The only number of traders is large, they are in fierce competition with each other, and consumers are offered products at competitive rates. In general, business expenses are low. This allows the only trader to sell their products at a lower price.
(V) Equal Distribution of Income:
This form of organization acts as a constraint on the monopoly tendencies of other forms of organization. Many people enter the business. Therefore, this results in an equal distribution of income. Everyone can invest their savings and get a fair return on it. When a business is in the hands of a few, it brings a concentration of wealth in the hands of only some.
(VI) Useful for small producers:
The only trader buys goods from small producers and sells them to consumers. Many intermediaries are excluded from distribution channels. Some of the profits that the intermediary earns in the form of commissions are left to the producers and some are passed on to consumers in the form of low prices.
(VII) Helping Consumers:
Consumers are helped by some traders in making their purchases. The only trader opens a store on the street so that consumers can buy from nearby stores. Merchants supply products even at the front door.
(VIII) Functions as a training center.
The only trading business offers the opportunity to learn business techniques. With less investment, you can afford to learn by trial and error. You can expand it later by bearing the various strengths and weaknesses of your business. Therefore, this is a good organizational form for receiving business training.

Q12) State the types of Partnership. 5
A12) Types of Partnership
Partnerships can be divided into different types by state or place of business. Here are some general aspects of the three most common types of Partnerships.
General Partnership
A Partnership is made up of two or more owners who run the business. In this Partnership, each partner represents a company with equal rights. All partners have the right to participate in management activities, decision making and manage the business. Similarly, profits, liabilities, and liabilities are evenly shared and evenly divided.
In other words, the definition of a Partnership can be described as a Partnership in which rights and responsibilities are equally shared in terms of management and decision making. Each partner must take full responsibility for the debts and responsibilities incurred by the other partners. If one partner is sued, all other partners are considered responsible. The creditor or court holds the personal assets of the partner. Therefore, most partners do not choose this Partnership.
Limited Partnership
This Partnership includes both general and limited partners. The General Partner has unlimited liability and manages the business and other limited liability partners. A limited liability company has limited control over its business (limited to his investment). They have nothing to do with the day-to-day operations of the company.
In most cases, Limited Partners only invest and share profits. They are not interested in participating in management or decision making. This non-involvement means that they do not have the right to compensate for the loss of Partnership from the income tax return.
Limited Liability Partnership
In a limited liability Partnership (LLP), all partners have limited liability. Each partner is protected from the legal and financial mistakes of the other partners. Limited liability Partnerships are similar to limited liability companies (LLCs), but not limited liability Partnerships or Partnerships.
Voluntary Partnership
A voluntary Partnership can be defined as if the expiration of the Partnership company is not mentioned. Under Section 7 of the Indian Partnership Act of 1932, the two conditions that a company must meet in order to become a voluntary Partnership are:
- Partnership agreements must not have a fixed expiration date.
- No special Partnership decisions should be mentioned.
Therefore, if the term and decision are stated in the contract, it is not a voluntary Partnership. Also, if the expiration date of the company is initially set, but the operation of the company continues beyond the above date. It is free to be considered a Partnership.
Q13) What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Partnership? 12
A13) Forming partnerships offers unique benefits that can affect every aspect of your business, from finances and taxes to work-life balance and productivity.
1. Not subject to income tax
Partnerships must submit information about their annual financial performance (income, profits, losses, profits, etc.) to the IRS, but they do not have to pay income tax directly.
Instead, partnerships "pass through" profits (or losses) to partners. Similarly, all partners must include a share of the profits or losses incurred in their business on their personal tax returns.
2. Access to complementary skills and knowledge
Partnerships can provide access to important skills and experiences, especially in areas of lack. Most successful partnerships work well because partners have complementary skill sets and help each other to bridge the gap in expertise.
For example, you may have sales and business development experience, but your partner may be a certified accountant.
3. Split overhead and other costs
Overheads are one of the biggest challenges in building a new business. Sharing start-up and other costs is an attractive aspect of a partnership.
4. Increased productivity and expansion opportunities
Partners not only take on new business workloads and other responsibilities, but also help you connect with other business professionals and grow your business in ways you never imagined.
5. Improvement of work-life balance
With a partner, you don't have to deal with every detail of your business. In this way, having a partner can improve your work-life balance. Studies have shown that this leads to increased productivity.
If the Associate is interested in leaving the partnership, the Partnership Benefit Allocation can be used to transfer the right to receive benefits to the new partner.
6. Second perspective
One of the main benefits of a partnership is that there is someone at a different level of perspective who can provide valuable information when making important decisions.
7. Less form and obligation
Unlike limited liability companies and companies, partnerships do not need to be registered with the Secretary of State. Most states legally recognize partnerships when they start a business.
8. Easy to convert to other business structures
Converting a partnership to an LLC is easy if you later decide that you need to protect your business further. The official conversion document must be submitted to the Secretary of State to begin the process.
9. Equal ownership and management
Co., Ltd. And corporate operators can meet the demands of shareholders and the board of directors, but business partnerships include more freedom. Members only respond to each other and don't have to worry about outside decision makers.
10. Privacy and confidentiality
Partnerships do not need to disclose financial or organizational information. Companies and businesses, on the other hand, need to make this information available to the IRS and shareholders.
For example, a listed company must distribute its annual report to shareholders and post it on its website for public disclosure.
Disadvantages of partnership
Partnerships have some freedom, but they also have drawbacks. The disadvantages of partnerships highlight why it is important to choose a reliable partner.
1. Increased responsibility
One of the main drawbacks of partnerships is the equal liability of each partner for losses and debts.
Each partner has unlimited personal liability. In other words, you are responsible for any bad business transactions your partner makes. Every decision your partner makes has potential consequences for your personal wealth and finances.
For example, if your business is unprofitable and you can't pay with a loan borrowed by your partner, creditors can sue you and rob you of your personal assets such as your bank account, car, or home.
2. Decreased autonomy
Partners have equal decision-making power (unless otherwise specified in the amendments to the partnership agreement. Decisions must be made jointly, which means compromises may be required.
3. Possibility of partner-to-partner conflict
Partnerships, like most relationships, can quickly become complex if employees disagree. This is especially true when there are only two partners, and no one breaks the relationship due to disagreement. It is important to outline how the partnership agreement resolves the discrepancy.
4. Complications associated with future sales
Incorporate exit strategies into your documentation when forming a partnership business. Problems can occur if one partner wants to sell and the other does not.
5. Poor stability
Partnerships offer a high degree of freedom, as opposed to the stability provided by legal entities. Given that the business is completely dependent on the partner, living conditions such as death, childbirth, illness, and other unexpected events can have a significant impact on the functioning of the company.
6. Lack of recognized fame
For many, the limited liability structure is a sign of fame. Some informals are attractive to those involved in the organization, but they can be worried about investors investing money or collaborating with businesses.
7. Shared profit
Partners need to share profits in the same way they share labor and overhead costs. Partners mean more opportunities to increase revenue, but they also mean that they need to share revenue according to the terms of the contract.
Q14) What is Joint Stock Company? What are its features? 8
A14) Businesses owned by investors or shareholders are known as joint-stock companies. A joint-stock company is a voluntary organization of individuals who provide money or monetary value for a common purpose. No one can enter this business without his / her interest.
You can raise public funds by issuing shares. To make large investments, public funds are used for operations such as the production, expansion and purchase of assets.
Definition of Company:
"A corporation is intended as an organization of many people who donate money or the value of money to common stock and use it for some common purpose."

"A joint-stock company is a voluntary association of individuals for profit that divides capital into transferable shares and whose ownership is a condition of membership."
Features of the Company:
To clarify more about a corporation, let's move on to the following characteristics.
1. Corporate joint-stock company:
The company and its members are separate individuals. All business of the company is done under its own name and you can buy and sell assets under your own name. In the corporate form, the board of directors can use the stamp of a company that cannot use its name instead of the company name to control all operations of the business.
2. Artificial person:
The company is an artificial person created by law. It can be said that all business activities are carried out by all human resources, but that does not mean that the company is a natural person. When doing business, we use the company name.

Under the Companies Act of 1956, all companies are required to register in order to do business without problems.

The company cannot sign itself. All activities are carried out through a group of people associated with the company. Therefore, anyone who acts on behalf of the company can use a common stamp instead of the company's signature.
Documents without stamps or common seals are not considered legal documents of the company.
5. Transferability of shares:
Members can freely transfer the shares of the company. Any member who wants to sell their shares is free to sell and cancel their membership from the company.
