OCR BUSINESS UNIT 1 Sole Proprietor In this piece of course work I will investigate about the sole trader. A sole trader is a one person who runs his/her own business.The advantage of being a sole trader in a business is you can controlled your business, keep all the profits, easy to set up a business and it doesn't need a lot money to start the business.Examples of these businesses can be found in most industrial sectors but particularly in most service sectors. Hence services such as electrical repair, picture framing, photography, diving instruction, retail shops, hair dresser, window cleaning and hotels have a large proportion of sole trade business and they can make their own decision in the business. The other advantage of being a sole trader is he/she could keep all the profit in the business. The disadvantages of being a sole trader are if the owner becomes ill or goes to holiday the business may suffer. This can be less of a problem if the sole trader employs a manager or managers. It may be the case that they are motivated to work long hours because they are working for themselves and they will get the extra profits from their extra work. Money can be difficult to raise as many banks and other lending institutions might be reluctant to lend to sole traders because they have a higher rate of bankruptcy. The other disadvantages of being a sole trader are the unlimited liability; this means that the owner is responsible for all debts and the owner need to pay these debts using their own money and the owner must work a long hour.Partnership Partnership is a business with two or more person in one business and this is a bit bigger than a sole trader business and it is easy to set up. The maximum partners in partnership are 20 people. The examples of being a partnership in business are accountants and estate agent. The other example of being a partnership is marks and Spencer's, marks and Spencer's is a business that began a partnership. The advantages of being a partnership is their decision could be shared to each other and the responsibilities in business could be share to their partners. The other advantages of being a sole trader is they could help each other in business if there is so many customer and they can handle the business well if they are working or cooperate with each other. The disadvantages of being a partnership are they might be arguing to each other about the business and if their partners retired to their business. The other disadvantage of being a partnership is if they have a sleeping partner in the business.
