Advantages of Partnerships<br />
• Ease of Start UP – Articles of Partnership<br />
Articles of Partnership-contract that spells out each<br />
partners rights and responsibilities<br />
• Financial Impact – more than one contributing<br />
• Shared Decision Making – responsibilities are shared by<br />
individuals
Disadvantages of Partnerships<br />
• Unlimited Liability - if one suffers they all do<br />
• Potential for Conflict -cant we all just get along<br />
• Lack of Permanence -may come and go

Why do you think real estate businesses form<br />
the largest percentage of partnerships?
<strong>Business</strong> Franchises<br />
• Is a independent business that pays fees to a parent company<br />
• Examples from fast food restaurants to jewelry stores
Advantages of Franchises<br />
• Managing Training and Support – franchises offer training and<br />
support programs<br />
• Standardized Quality – certain rules and processes to guarantee<br />
product quality<br />
• National Advertising Programs – parent companies pay and you<br />
don’t t have to pay<br />
• Financial Assistance – Some franchisers provide financing to<br />
help owners start their business<br />
• Centralized Buying Power – buying materials in bulk for all their<br />
locations
Disadvantages of Franchises<br />
• High Fees and Royalties –Franchises charge high fees to use<br />
their name, they also expect royalties<br />
• Strict Operational Standards –strict rules such as hours of<br />
operation, dress codes, and operating procedures<br />
• Purchasing Restrictions – franchises can only buy from the<br />
parent company<br />
• Limited Product Line – offer only approved products

Approximately 38% of corporations are engaged in construction, manufacturing, real estate, and retail<br />
business. What incentives to incorporate do businesses have in these industries? Firms that sell services<br />
make up a large fraction of corporations. Given this fact, what can you conclude about the U.S. Economy?
Advantages of Incorporation<br />
Incorporation, or forming a corporation, offers advantages to<br />
both stockholders and the corporation itself.<br />
• Limited liability for owners - advantage for Stockholders because you<br />
don’t t carry personal responsibility for the corporation’s s actions! You<br />
will lose or gain only the amount of money you have invested in the<br />
business.<br />
• Advantage for a corporation – by selling shares they can raise large<br />
amounts of capital<br />
• Ability to attract capital by use of bonds -promise to repay borrowed<br />
money with interest at fixed variables<br />
• Transferable ownership – shares of stocks are easily transferable; not<br />
the case with other business organizations<br />
• Long life or permanence -because stocks are transferable,<br />
corporations can last longer that partnerships and sole proprietorships<br />
orships
Disadvantages of Incorporation<br />
• Expense and difficulty of start up -certificate of incorporation-a<br />
license issued by the state government YOU MUST FILE!!!<br />
• Double taxation -corporations legal entities separate from their owners<br />
MEANS MUST PAY TAXES ON IT!!!<br />
• Dividends -portion of corporate profits paid out to stockholders<br />
• Stockholders have to claim dividends as personal income<br />
• Limited Liability Corporations – advantage of limited liability for<br />
owners and tax advantage; do not pay corporate income tax<br />
• Potential loss of control by the founders –corporate officers and<br />
boards of directors, not owners, manage corporations and sometimes<br />
es<br />
they make very bad decisions.
Corporation Combinations<br />
• Horizontal merger – join two or more firms competing in the same<br />
market with the same good<br />
• Vertical merger – join two or more firms involved in different stages of<br />
producing the same good or service<br />
• Conglomerates -merging more than three businesses that produce<br />
unrelated products and services<br />
• Examples include Coca Cola, Time Warner, Walt Disney

Multinational Corporations<br />
• Large corporation that produces and sells in more than one<br />
country<br />
• These are the world’s s largest!<br />
• Headquarters in one country and branches in the other. They<br />
must obey laws and pay taxes in each country where they<br />
operate.<br />
•Early 2000’s, an estimated 64,000<br />
multinational firms operated 866,000<br />
foreign branches.<br />
•These affiliates provide jobs to 53<br />
million people!<br />
•The United States, Great Britain,<br />
Germany, Japan, France, China are the<br />
one’s with the largest amounts!
Advantages of Multinational<br />
• Provides products and job around the world -benefits consumers<br />
and workers<br />
• Helps poorer nation – enjoy better living standards<br />
• Spreads new technology and production methods – across the<br />
globe
Disadvantages of Multinational<br />
• Poor jobs- unduly influence the culture and politics<br />
• low wages – high demand for workers<br />
• poor working conditions - not treated fairly (just like laborers in<br />
the U.S. in the late 1800s)
4. Nonprofit <strong>Organizations</strong><br />
• An institution that functions much like a business, but does<br />
not operate for the purpose of generating profit<br />
• Professional organizations -works to improve image, working<br />
conditions, and skill levels<br />
• <strong>Business</strong> association - promote the collective business<br />
interests of an area<br />
• Trade association – promotes interests of particular<br />
industry<br />
• Labor union – aim is to improve working conditions<br />
Examples include museums, public<br />
schools, the American Red Cross,<br />
hospitals, adoption agencies, churches,<br />
synagogues, YMCA’s (MOST provide<br />
service, not a good)!
America’s s first Cooperative<br />
• Ben Franklin, one of our nation’s<br />
founders, was a remarkable innovator. In<br />
1752, he formed a company that<br />
collected money from its members in<br />
order to make payments to any one of<br />
them who suffered losses from a fire.<br />
• He wrote, “I I would leave this to the<br />
Consideration of all who are concern’d<br />
for their own or their Neighbour’s<br />
Temporal Happiness; and I am humbly of<br />
Opinion, that the Country is ripe for<br />
many such Friendly Societies, , whereby<br />
every Man might help another, without<br />
any Disservice to himself.”<br />
The New-England<br />
Courant, August 13, 1722
Cooperatives<br />
• A business organization owned and operated by a group of<br />
individuals for their shared benefit<br />
• Consumer Cooperative – retail owned and sell items at a low price<br />
• Service Cooperative – provides a service not a good<br />
• Producer Cooperative – agricultural marketing which helps sell<br />
product<br />
• (farming and energy to healthcare and childcare)<br />
Voluntary and open membership<br />
Control of the organization by its members<br />
Sharing of contributions and benefits by members
