In basic terms a business can be defined as an entity that provides merchandise and services to others who wish for or require them.
When starting a new business, the first thing that must be considered is the ownership structure. Will the business be a corporation, a partnership, a sole proprietorship or a limited liability company? Which one of these types of ownership will suit the business depends on the type of trade and the needs of the venture.
