Page 1: Business Ownership Structures

This page explores various business ownership structures and their characteristics, with particular focus on sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies.

Definition: A sole trader is a business structure where one person owns and operates the business independently.

Highlight: Private limited companies can only issue new shares with unanimous shareholder agreement, providing strong control over ownership.

Example: The National Trust operates as an incorporated charity, benefiting from tax advantages while preserving UK heritage sites.

Vocabulary: Not-for-profit organizations are entities that don't distribute profits to owners but reinvest them in their mission.

The page details key differences between business structures, emphasizing that sole traders face unlimited liability but benefit from simple setup processes. Private limited companies offer protection through limited liability while maintaining control through restricted share ownership.

Quote: "The National Trust raises money from donations and membership fees. It also owns some companies which aren't charities."

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
