Advantages and Disadvantages of Sole Proprietorship, Partnership and Corporation

By Internet Business | Published: 2012

The three main forms of business organization are (1) sole proprietorships, (2) partnerships, and (3) corporations.  In addition, several hybrid forms are gaining popularity.  These hybrid forms are the limited partnership, the limited liability partnership, the professional corporation, and the s corporation.

The proprietorship has three important advantages: (1) it is easily and inexpensively formed, (2) it is subject to few government regulations, and (3) the business pays no corporate income taxes.  The proprietorship also has three important limitations: (1) it is difficult for a proprietorship to obtain large sums of capital; (2) the proprietor has unlimited personal liability for the business’s debts, and (3) the life of a business organized as a proprietorship is limited to the life of the individual who created it.

The major advantage of a partnership is its low cost and ease of formation.  The disadvantages are similar to those associated with proprietorships: (1) unlimited liability, (2) limited life of the organization, (3) difficulty of transferring ownership, and (4) difficulty of raising large amounts of capital.  The tax treatment of a partnership is similar to that for proprietorships, which is often an advantage.

The corporate form of business has three major advantages: (1) unlimited life, (2) easy transferability of ownership interest, and (3) limited liability.  While the corporate form offers significant advantages over proprietorships and partnerships, it does have two primary disadvantages: (1) corporate earnings may be subject to double taxation and (2) setting up a corporation and filing the many required state and federal reports is more complex and time-consuming than for a proprietorship or a partnership.

In a limited partnership, the limited partners are liable only for the amount of their investment in the partnership; however, the limited partners typically have no control.  The limited liability partnership form of organization combines the limited liability advantage of a corporation with the tax advantages of a partnership.  Professional corporations provide most of the benefits of incorporation but do not relieve the participants of professional liability.  S corporations are similar in many ways to limited liability partnerships, but LLPS frequently offer more flexibility and benefits to their owners.

How to Make Voice Mail Very Professional

By Internet Business | Published: 2012

A personal greeting, a meaningful message, and a commitment to prompt personal follow-up are all it takes to turn voice mail from a personality-free automated and sometimes annoying fact of life to a pleasant and efficient means to present yourself and your message when you’re other-wise unavailable. Follow these tips:

Record a greeting that accurately reflects the image of your business, update it regularly, and check for messages faithfully.

Make sure that your greeting includes your company name (or your own name if it is a desk line), gives an indication of when the call will be returned, and invites the caller to leave a message.

Encourage detailed messages. “Please leave a message of up to three minutes, and we will get back to you by day’s end.” If you encourage a lengthy message, the caller is more likely to convey complete information, reducing the need for telephone tag after the call.

If at all possible, include the option of pressing zero to speak with a real, live person.

If you can’t fully respond to the caller’s request within the specified time period, call with a polite explanation and tell when you will have a response.
Voice mailboxes have limited storage capacity. Delete messages regularly to ensure that new messages can be stored.

Regularly call your own voice mail to see that it’s working and that the message is current.

The minute that your voice mail starts to sound like that of a big, faceless corporation, move quickly to put your small business personality
back into it. Customers choose small businesses in large part for their personal touch. Don’t let voice mail or other systems encroach on that small-business advantage. – by Barbara F. Schenk
