Forms of Business Organization
One of the first decisions that you
will have to make as a business owner is how the business should be
structured. All businesses must adopt some legal configuration that
defines the rights and liabilities of participants in the business’s ownership,
control, personal liability, life span, and financial structure. This
decision will have long-term implications, so you may want to consult with an accountant
and attorney to help you select the form of ownership that is right for
you. In making a choice, you will want to take into account the
following:
•Your vision regarding the size and
nature of your business.
•The level of control you wish to have.
•The level of “structure” you are willing to deal with.
•The business’s vulnerability to lawsuits.
•Tax implications of the different organizational structures.
•Expected profit (or loss) of the business.
•Whether or not you need to re-invest earnings into the business.
•Your need for access to cash out of the business for yourself.
An overview of the four basic legal forms of organization: Sole Proprietorship; Partnerships; Corporations and Limited Liability Company follows.

An overview of the four basic legal forms of organization: Sole Proprietorship; Partnerships; Corporations and Limited Liability Company follows.
Sole
Proprietorship
The vast majority of small
businesses start out as sole proprietorships. These firms are owned by
one person, usually the individual who has day-to-day responsibility for
running the business. Sole proprietorships own all the assets of the
business and the profits generated by it. They also assume complete
responsibility for any of its liabilities or debts. In the eyes of the
law and the public, you are one in the same with the business.
Advantages of a Sole Proprietorship
• Easiest and least expensive
form of ownership to organize.
• Sole proprietors are in complete control, and within the parameters of the law, may make decisions as they see fit.
• Profits from the business flow-through directly to the owner’s personal tax return.
• The business is easy to dissolve, if desired.
• Sole proprietors are in complete control, and within the parameters of the law, may make decisions as they see fit.
• Profits from the business flow-through directly to the owner’s personal tax return.
• The business is easy to dissolve, if desired.
Disadvantages of a Sole
Proprietorship
• Sole proprietors have
unlimited liability and are legally responsible for all debts against the
business. Their business and personal assets are at risk.
• May be at a disadvantage in raising funds and are often limited to using funds from personal savings or consumer loans.
• May have a hard time attracting high-caliber employees, or those that are motivated by the opportunity to own a part of the business.
• Some employee benefits such as owner’s medical insurance premiums are not directly deductible from business income (only partially as an adjustment to income).
• May be at a disadvantage in raising funds and are often limited to using funds from personal savings or consumer loans.
• May have a hard time attracting high-caliber employees, or those that are motivated by the opportunity to own a part of the business.
• Some employee benefits such as owner’s medical insurance premiums are not directly deductible from business income (only partially as an adjustment to income).
Partnerships
In a Partnership, two or more people
share ownership of a single business. Like proprietorships, the law does
not distinguish between the business and its owners. The Partners should
have a legal agreement that sets forth how decisions will be made, profits will
be shared, disputes will be resolved, how future partners will be admitted to
the partnership, how partners can be bought out, or what steps will be taken to
dissolve the partnership when needed; Yes, its hard to think about a “break-up”
when the business is just getting started, but many partnerships split up at
crisis times and unless there is a defined process, there will be even greater
problems. They also must decide up front how much time and capital each
will contribute, etc.
Advantages of a Partnership
• Partnerships are relatively
easy to establish; however time should be invested in developing the partnership
agreement.
• With more than one owner, the ability to raise funds may be increased.
• The profits from the business flow directly through to the partners’ personal tax return.
• Prospective employees may be attracted to the business if given the incentive to become a partner.
• The business usually will benefit from partners who have complementary skills.
• With more than one owner, the ability to raise funds may be increased.
• The profits from the business flow directly through to the partners’ personal tax return.
• Prospective employees may be attracted to the business if given the incentive to become a partner.
• The business usually will benefit from partners who have complementary skills.
Disadvantages of a Partnership
• Partners are jointly and
individually liable for the actions of the other partners.
• Profits must be shared with others.
• Since decisions are shared, disagreements can occur.
• Some employee benefits are not deductible from business income on tax returns.
• The partnership may have a limited life; it may end upon the withdrawal or death of a partner.
• Profits must be shared with others.

Types of Partnerships that should be
considered:
1. General Partnership
Partners divide responsibility for management and liability, as well as the shares of profit or loss according to their internal agreement. Equal shares are assumed unless there is a written agreement that states differently.

2. Limited Partnership and
Partnership with limited liability
“Limited” means that most of the partners have limited liability (to the extent of their investment) as well as limited input regarding management decision, which generally encourages investors for short term projects, or for investing in capital assets. This form of ownership is not often used for operating retail or service businesses. Forming a limited partnership is more complex and formal than that of a general partnership.

3. Joint Venture
Acts like a general partnership, but is clearly for a limited period of time or a single project. If the partners in a joint venture repeat the activity, they will be recognized as an ongoing partnership and will have to file as such, and distribute accumulated partnership assets upon dissolution of the entity.

Corporations
A Corporation, chartered by the
state in which it is headquartered, is considered by law to be a unique entity,
separate and apart from those who own it. A Corporation can be taxed; it
can be sued; it can enter into contractual agreements. The owners of a
corporation are its shareholders. The shareholders elect a board of
directors to oversee the major policies and decisions. The corporation
has a life of its own and does not dissolve when ownership changes.
Advantages of a Corporation
• Shareholders have limited
liability for the corporation’s debts or judgments against the corporation.
• Generally, shareholders can only be held accountable for their investment in stock of the company. (Note however, that officers can be held personally liable for their actions, such as the failure to withhold and pay employment taxes.
• Corporations can raise additional funds through the sale of stock.
• A Corporation may deduct the cost of benefits it provides to officers and employees.
• Can elect S Corporation status if certain requirements are met. This election enables company to be taxed similar to a partnership.

• Can elect S Corporation status if certain requirements are met. This election enables company to be taxed similar to a partnership.
Disadvantages of a Corporation
• The process of incorporation
requires more time and money than other forms of organization.
• Corporations are monitored by federal, state and some local agencies, and as a result may have more paperwork to comply with regulations.
• Incorporating may result in higher overall taxes. Dividends paid to shareholders are not deductible from business income; thus this income can be taxed twice.
• Corporations are monitored by federal, state and some local agencies, and as a result may have more paperwork to comply with regulations.
• Incorporating may result in higher overall taxes. Dividends paid to shareholders are not deductible from business income; thus this income can be taxed twice.
Subchapter S Corporation
A tax election only; this election
enables the shareholder to treat the earnings and profits as distributions, and
have them pass through directly to their personal tax return. The catch
here is that the shareholder, if working for the company, and if there is a
profit, must pay his/herself wages, and it must meet standards of “reasonable
compensation”. This can vary by geographical region as well as
occupation, but the basic rule is to pay yourself what you would have to pay
someone to do your job, as long as there is enough profit. If you do not
do this, the IRS can reclassify all of the earnings and profit as wages, and
you will be liable for all of the payroll taxes on the total amount.
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
The LLC is a relatively new type of
hybrid business structure that is now permissible in most states. It is
designed to provide limited liability features of a corporation and the tax
efficiencies and operational flexibility of a partnership. Formation is
more complex and formal than that of a general partnership.
The owners are members, and the
duration of the LLC is usually determined when the organization papers are
filed. The time limit can be continued if desired by a vote of the
members at the time of expiration. LLC’s must not have more than two of
the four characteristics that define corporations: Limited liability to
the extent of assets; continuity of life; centralization of management; and
free transferability of ownership interests.
Federal Tax Forms for LLC
Taxed as a partnership in most
cases; corporation forms must be used if there are more than 2 of the 4
corporate characteristics, as described above.
In summary, deciding the form of
ownership that best suits your business venture should be given careful
consideration. Use your key advisors to assist you in the process.

Kofi Annan 1938 - 2018
It is with immense sadness that the Annan family and the Kofi Annan Foundation announce that Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations and Nobel Peace Laureate, passed away peacefully on Saturday 18th August after a short illness. His wife Nane and their children Ama, Kojo and Nina were by his side during his last days.Kofi Annan was a global statesman and a deeply committed internationalist who fought throughout his life for a fairer and more peaceful world. During his distinguished career and leadership of the United Nations he was an ardent champion of peace, sustainable development, human rights and the rule of law.After stepping down from the United Nations, he continued to work tirelessly in the cause of peace through his chairmanship of the Kofi Annan Foundation and as chair of The Elders, the group founded by Nelson Mandela. He was an inspiration to young and old alike. Kofi Annan was a son of Ghana and felt a special responsibility towards Africa. He was particularly committed to African development and deeply engaged in many initiatives, including his chairmanship of the Africa Progress Panel and his early leadership of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA).Wherever there was suffering or need, he reached out and touched many people with his deep compassion and empathy. He selflessly placed others first, radiating genuine kindness, warmth and brilliance in all he did. He will be greatly missed by so many around the world, as well as his staff at the Foundation and his many former colleagues in the United Nations system. He will remain in our hearts forever.The family kindly requests privacy at this time of mourning. Arrangements to celebrate his remarkable life will be announced later.
