What are the advantages of a sole trader?
Advantages of being a sole trader are that you're your own boss which means you can choose how long you work for. It's easy and doesn't cost much to set up. You get to keep all the profits and also decisions are made faster. Information about the business is kept private unlike limited companies which are made public by Companies House. Sole traders offer a more personal service which is appealing to potential customers in the area where the business is situated.
Disadvantages of being a sole trader are if you have time off you won't get paid for it because it's your business. This could lead to fewer profits and also in future could lead to lack of business. Unlimited liability is also a disadvantage. Unlimited liability means if your business fails you have to sell off your own assets for example their car or house to pay off the debts of their business. Sole traders may find it difficult to raise finance to fund their business which may lead to them struggling to expand in the future.

What are the main departments that make up a Company?
If you are talking about a Brand New Company:
1. Marketing: Consulting your Product/Service that leads to the Sale.
2. Operations: The flow once the customer has purchased.
3. Customer Service: Ensuring that the Customer is always happy.
9 out of 10 times, the Business Owner will be responsible for the finances & hiring/firing of the company.
If it is an established Small Business:
1. Marketing (See Above)
2. Operations (See Above)
3. Customer Service (See Above)
4. Human Resources: Well-versed within the organization to know who to hire.
5. Sales Department: Handling the Sale once it has reached that point in the process.
6. Accounting Department: Managing money flow & forecasting.
7. Legal Department: Taking Preventative Actions, and Representation.
Departments 1-6 will hopefully have 1 manager and then others working under the Manager's direction. The Legal Department can simply be an outsourced Certified Law Practice Firm that is catered to your Small Business.
If it is a Medium-Large Sized Business:
This is a tricky one since every business is different, each company will require different "Specialized" Departments. It can range from things such as "Research & Development" to "Purchasing Department", etc. Also, these "Specialized" Departments might be found in any size business, it is completely dependent on the specific type business it is in. Normally, I have found, that these "Specialized" Departments are not warranted until the size of the company (either by volume, sales, locations, or a mixture) has grown to serve that specific purpose that it has called for it.

== == Q. Which type of communication plays most important part in raising the motivation? Level of employees working in an organization? Your answer must comprise of Arguments with examples. Answer: Downward Communication plays most important part in raising motivation level of employees, because downward communication run from top level of organization to inferior level of organization or workers. This communication is very helpful for raising the total efficiency of an organization, because when elder officers motivate their workers the working level of an employee is very high. e.g. If I (Faisal Qadeer)work in vehicle Spare Parts Shop as supply Keeper, I doing their job on every day regular, if The proprietor of that shop come in ware residence and request me about the information of supply, I give him all information, after analysis of all that information he explain his performance in two type: 1- If my information is perfect his answer is positive. 2- If my information are incorrect his answer is entirely dissimilar can be negative. While workers obtain suitable downward communication from organization, they can be improved motivated and become more proficient. While the workers require clear job guidelines and protection regulations, they also require knowing details about Organizational plan, products, and viewpoint on significant contentious issues. Workers want to know about their reimbursement - health care, indemnity, promotions, pensions, preparation, work atmosphere, retirement, etc. In a way the workers, all the way through their communal stress, force their employer to be responsible for their decisions through valuable downward communication.

Is Ifc inc based in Ukraine a legit company to work for?
Be Careful! I am having the company investigated by contacts within the US Embassy in Odessa, Ukraine. They want to transfer client money to a PayPal debit account, have you withdrawl or transfer the money to a personal banking account, then transfer the money via Western Union to an account of their choice. Why all this movement of money? I believe it is to steal identity info. and/or banking information. They also will ask for your state ID (drivers license) under the guise of needing it for employment verification. Do not provide it. More later after a US Embassy contact is made with them - or not.
