Pros and Cons of the three Business Types

Earlier, I made a post based on the things that I’ve learned from Kiyosaki’s teachings on the three basic business entities: Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, and Corporation.

The government gets less that way, and it’s legal. Employees of corporations: Earn       →     pay

As Kiyosaki said, sole proprietorship is not the kind of business entity that he can recommend because as a business owner, you would be “solely” responsible and liable to your business and there’s a risk of putting your personal assets in danger if the business fails. Today, we would tackle the next business entity and that is partnership. Like a sole proprietorship, a

Let’s now review the three common business entities: Sole Proprietorship, Partnership and Corporation. In the US, there is one additional entity called LLC or Limited Liability Companies but since this is not applicable here in Philippines, let’s skip that for the moment.

Two Types of Business Financing

In one of my earlier posts, if you want to start a business and you don’t know where to find the capital to finance it, I enumerated some of the ways to fund and finance a business. In addition to seeking capital to finance your new business, you have to decide what form of financing you want. Will it be debt or equity financing, or a little of both?
