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.
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.
