All partners share in the decision making for the business. A partnership agreement is usually established in order to delegate the responsibilities of each partner such as who will make decisions for the business, how will profits and losses be shared, how much money and time each partner will contribute and even a plan in the event a partner chooses to terminate their share of the business. The main advantage of this entity is that it allows more expertise as well as financial support in order to make a business grow. The main disadvantage is that just like the sole proprietorship, the personal assets of each partner will not be spared if the company faces financial

The other option is to file their return normally and just fill out an IRS Schedule C to show profit or loss for the business (Smith, 2011). • Longevity/Continuity – One of the main issues of longevity in regards to sole proprietorship is that it dissolves when the owner dies so it makes it not possible to have continuity (Joseph, 2011). • Control – one of the great advantages of sole proprietorship that a person doesn’t have with a partnership or corporation is that you don’t have to answer to anyone but yourself in our decisions.

A sole proprietorship is an unincorporated business owned by one person. The owner of a sole proprietorship is known as a sole proprietor. Sole proprietorship is easier and less expensive to start than corporations. It can be started without anything more formal than a decision or a handshake and you can conduct business under your own name or under a trade name. In this example, Owen will be the only owner and since he wants to have employees under this business form he is allowed to hire employees whereas if he was thinking of an S- Corporation he could not have any employees.

The business and the owner are one entity so when the business owes on a debt the owner’s personal assets are liable to be taken as payment

Cable companies don’t worry about competition due to the protection they enjoy from the government. The cable companies get away with this by claiming they do not have competition, cities award them the contract by providing coverage, even though they may not have the lowest price.
This later proves to be a very curious decision, in light of the facts that (1) this was Calvin's first foray into forensic accounting, so why would he charge more money? and (2) Calvin's work on the case was minimal, and he assumed that he would not have to spend hardly any time on this seemingly "quick and easy" case - and he didn't. If he was going to raise his rate, it would probably have been appropriate for a case that would have taken a significant chunk of time away from
