Business Forms
One of the most important decisions for entrepreneurs is determining the most suitable form of business ownership when setting up a business. For Adam and Laura who are seeking to establish a pet grooming shop named Dazzling Doggies Day Spa, the determination of a suitable form of business ownership is critical towards ensuring the success of their business venture. When making the decision, Adam and Laura need to consider various factors surrounding their business venture including the fact that Beth, Laura’s mother, would like to contribute towards the startup costs without being involved in the everyday business operations, but wants a share of the business’ profits.

Through this form of business ownership, an individual can contribute to the business without participating in its day-to-day operations. Since Beth wants to contribute to the startup costs and have a share of profits without engaging in the daily business operations, a limited partnership would be the most suitable form of business ownership. In this case, Adam and Laura will act as the general partners while Beth will act as the limited partner. As the general partners, Adam and Laura will be responsible for the daily operations of the business as well as personally liable for its acts, obligations, and debts. On the other hand, as the limited partner, Beth will not engage in the business’ daily operations, but will…
