Слайд 12

TYPES OF PARTNERSHIPS
General partnerships
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

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 decisions, 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

Слайд 13

TYPES OF PARTNERSHIPS
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

Слайд 14

Corporations
A CORPORATION IS IDENTIFIED BY THE TERMS "LIMITED", "LTD.", "INCORPORATED", "INC.",

"CORPORATION", OR "CORP.".
WHATEVER THE TERM, IT MUST APPEAR WITH THE CORPORATE NAME ON ALL DOCUMENTS, STATIONERY, AND SO ON, AS IT APPEARS ON THE INCORPORATION DOCUMENT

Слайд 15

Corporations
USUALLY THERE ARE MANY OWNERS.
Owners are referred to as shareholders.
THE OWNERS

HAVE LIMITED LIABILITY FOR THE DEBTS OF THE CORPORATION.
No shareholder of a corporation is personally liable for the debts, obligations or acts of the corporation.
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.

Слайд 16

Corporations
ADVANTAGES
Shareholders have limited liability for the corporation's debts or judgments against

the corporations.
Shareholders can only be held accountable for their investment in stock of the company.
Corporations can raise additional funds through the sale of stock.
A corporation may deduct the cost of benefits it provides to officers and employees.

Слайд 17

Corporations
ADVANTAGES
Can elect S corporation status if certain requirements are met. This

election enables company to be taxed similar to a partnership.
Ownership is transferable
Continuous existence

DISADVANTAGES

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 form business income, thus this income can be taxed twice.

Слайд 18

TYPES OF CORPORATIONS
Subchapter S Corporations
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 shareholder, if working for the company, and if there is a profit, must pay herself wages, and it must meet standards of "reasonable compensation". 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 (Internal Revenue Service) 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

Слайд 19

TYPES OF CORPORATIONS
Private Corporation
A private corporation can be formed by one

or more people. A majority of its directors must be residents. A private corporation cannot sell shares or securities to the general public.
