Sole Proprietorship
Sole Proprietorship is defined as an
unincorporated business owned by an individual
for profit. This is easy to start because it is
easy and it has a few legal requirements. The
drawback in this type is the limited liability
for the business resulting to a higher risk.

A partnership is an unincorporated business owned
by two or more people. Partners share
responsibility resources con- tribute their
expertise. The disadvantage is the
unlimited liability of the partners and
possibility of disagreements that may somehow
affect the business.

the state and existing apart from its owners. It
is liable for its actions and must pay taxes on
its income. It has a legal life of its own, and
its liability is not limited to the owners, thus
it continues to exist even if the owners live or
die.

pur- chase the right to distribute the Products

of the owner in terms of exploring other options
to increase efficiency.

  • service that has not been done before.

  • client base and the common
  • mistakes new entrepreneurs make.

Tactics for Becoming a Business Owner

provides shared office, management
support services legal advice to
entrepre- neurs. The great value of this is
the expertise of a mentor, who serves as
advisor, model ready access to a team of
professionals.
2. Buy an existing business An established
business already has systems in place, operating
procedure, existing customer base. The
advantage is the shorter time to get the
business running. The disadvantage is the need to
pay goodwill and the flexibility in terms of
introducing changes of to the system for
improvement.
17
Five Stages of Growth for an Entrepreneurial
Company
Main Problems are producing the product
or Service and obtaining customers.
The business demonstrates that it is a
workable Business entity. It produces the product
service and it has sufficient customers.
Concerns here include finances.
The company is solidly based profitable.
Systems procedures are in place. The owner
could stay involved or turn the managing tasks to
professional managers.
Here the key problem is how to grow rapidly
finance the growth. The owner must learn
to Delegate and the company must have
sufficient Capital to sustain the growth.
The companys substantial financial Gains may
come at the cost of losing Its advantages of
small size, including Flexibility and the
entrepreneurial Spirit.

    economy.

  • Group 2-Case Chapter 6. Emmas Parlor
  • 1. At what business sage is Emmas Parlor? As
    what stage is her Web-based organic tea business?
    What synergies exist between the two businesses?
    How critical do you think these synergies are to
    the success of each business?
  • Emmas Parlor is in Stage 3.The business already
    has a enough customers to make it profitable. And
    at point,, the owner, already has a choice to
    consider hiring professional managers/supervisors
    to take over the daily operations of the
    business. However, If Emma, the owner, decides
    not to pursue any expansion or diversification of
    her business, then , Emmas Parlor is already in
    Stage 5. Because , at this stage, the business
    already has financial stability, manpower
    resources and a solid customer base. The three
    factors determines if a company is matured or
    not.
  • Emmas Web-Based Organic Tea Business is also in
    Stage 3. It has a solid customer base and a level
    of sales that would make it financially stable.

26
  • The Web-Based Organic Tea Business of Emma
    Lathbury, does not only reach customers who are
    interested in buying Emmas product but also
    reached those who wants to avail of the services
    that Emmas Parlor has. Web Based Organic Tea
    Business of Emma is also a means to gather
    customer feedback. Feedbacks are important to
    gauge customer satisfaction. Some, if not most of
    these customers, would look for a venue/place
    where these special products are served. Emmas
    Parlor becomes a place where , not only can these
    customers experience, freshly made tea, but also
    , a venue for other activities. The Web Based Tea
    Business of Emma, does not only market the Tea
    itself, but also the venue where these product
    are served. This is quite similar to a coffee
    shop business.
  • In the food business, where competition is
    stiff, the entrepreneur should find innovative
    ways of reaching out to customers. Faced with an
    ever increasing cost of doing business, having
    an substantial number of customers is a factor
    to determine growth and stability.

27
  • 2. How does Emma Lathbury fit the profile of the
    typical entrepreneurs? Which of those traits are
    likely to continue to serve her all, and which
    might be counterproductive at this stage of her
    business?
  • An entrepreneur is someone who initiates a
    business venture, organized the available
    resources and assumes the risks and rewards. An
    entrepreneur exudes internal locus of control,
    high energy level, need to achieve,
    self-confidence, awareness of passing time, and
    tolerance for ambiguity.
  • Emma Lathbury had an idea of making and serving
    tea. Her successs was mainly due to her own
    efforts from choosing a location, putting up her
    tea house, blending different tea and marketing
    these through her Web-Based Tea Business.
  • At this point, the trait that has always been a
    factor for her success is would behaving a high
    energy level,awareness of the risk involved and
    an internal locus of control. During the
    formative

28
  • years of a business, the entrepreneur needs to
    work for extended hours . This would not be
    possible if a person has a low energy level
    which can effect their interest, motivation and
    resourcefulness , factors that a starting up
    business heavily relies on. Awareness of the
    risk and the obstacles involved in starting a
    business is one advantage of an entrepreneur may
    have. Identifying the risk involved in starting
    small business is a lot better than relying on
    instincts. Some entrepreneurs ,even before the
    actual start of business operation , are
    discouraged if they see that the risks are too
    great. But an entreprenur with an internal locus
    of control, a belief that an individual has
    control of their future, would think otherwise.
    In any other case, a business plan is usually the
    most useful guide to operating a business.
  • Tolerance for Ambiguity might be a
    counterproductive trait of an entrepreneur.
    Tolerance for ambiguity or uncertainty during the
    formative years is different compared to when the
    business is already established. Once a business
    becomes stable or matures, the entrepreneur might
    overlooked some important factors or
    environmental conditions that has an effect on
    the business. Factors like pricing,
    franchising, wholesale and retail agreements,
    competition, labor laws, availability or scarcity
    of materials can change the status of a business.
    So the entrepreneur has to always prepare
    alternatives courses of action in preparation
    for uncertainties in the future.

29
  • 3. After listing the pros and cons for each of
    Emmas options and considering her personality,
    which course of action would you recommend?

30
  • I think the best options for Emma is to
    delegate some of her responsibility to a
    professional supervisor or manager. The food
    business is a very competitive and physically
    demanding . As business grows, there needs to be
    additional manpower to cater for present and
    future customers. In addition to this, the number
    of employees, strict compliance for government
    agencies like the FDA and Department of Health
    ,IRS may require a lot of tedious leg work. If
    these requirements coincides with the daily
    routine of supervising the tea house, it will be
    very difficult for Emma to meet all of these
    requirements alone . If Emma would hire a
    professional manager, she could find better ways
    to serve the customer, meet compliance
    requirements of the government which I believe
    has stringent penalties, deal with suppliers and
    creditors properly and some more task which would
    eventually result in the conti continued success
    of the business. Knowing Emma, she would always
    like to have a hand on the daily operation of the
    business. She still could. This options is the
    best for her.
