Explain the forms of business organization:
1- Sole proprietorship:
2- partnership:
3- corporation:
1) Sole Proprietorship : It is the form of business which is undertaken by a single individual who both owns as well as manages it and is free to take any decision without the interference of anyone. This business form involves being accountable for both the losses as well as the gains of the business and the owner solely enjoys the management powers. The sole proprietorship form is easy to start and easy to dissolve with paying off to all the creditors. However the biggest disadvantage of business is that it has unlimited liability which means that if the debt of business could not be paid off by the assets and profits then the owner would have to reimburse the creditors from the personal property.
Partnership : When two or more individuals join together to undertake a business , they pool funds and resources to carry out the business operations together is called a partnership firm.

The partnership should be registered under law to enjoy various benefits. The specifications between the partners regarding different decisions is known as partnership deed.
