Types of business structures. Sole Proprietorship A Sole Proprietorship is one individual or married couple in business alone.
Sole proprietorships are the most common form of business structure. This type of business is simple to form and operate, and may enjoy greater flexibility of management, fewer legal controls, and fewer taxes. However, the business owner is personally liable for all debts incurred by the business. General Partnership A General Partnership is composed of 2 or more persons (usually not a married couple) who agree to contribute money, labor, or skill to a business. Limited Partnership A Limited Partnership is composed of one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is similar to a General Partnership except that normally a partner doesn’t have personal liability for the negligence of another partner.

2 Reasons Why Walmart Can’t Touch Whole Foods (WMT, WFM) Whole Foods Market (WFM) stock has taken a nearly 7% beating since just a few days ago, when Walmart (WMT) made an interesting announcement.
WMT is partnering with Wild Oats Market (originally bought out by Whole Foods, but the deal was nixed by the government) to lower the price on a line of organic foods in the megastore chain. At the moment, the plan rolls out about 100 products in the Wild Oats line. It’s unclear whether it will expand to others.

Today, 47 miles and some of the harshest ocean and arctic conditions separate the two continents. However, there are many who believe there would be great economical, sociological, and political value in connecting the two land masses by bridge or tunnel. Imagine being able to travel from London to Moscow to Washington, DC, all over land. However, despite the potential benefits, there have yet to be any serious attempts to put these concepts into reality. Sierra Nevada Corporation. Consolidated Steel Corporation.
