Basic Forms of Business Organizations
All businesses are known to take one of three basic forms:* the sole proprietorship, the partnership, and the corporation.
Как известно, все коммерческие структуры существуют в одной из трех основных форм: единоличное владение, товарищество и корпорация.
A sole proprietorship is a business that is owned, and often run by one person, who receives all the profits and bears all the liabilities of the business.
Единоличное владение
A partnership is a voluntary legal association of two or more people for the purpose of running a business.
A corporation is a firm that exists as an independent legal entity, with ownership divided into shares*. The owners of the shares are known as stockholders or shareholders. A key feature of the corporation is the limited liability. It means that the liability of the stockholders for debts of the firm is limited to the amount of money they paid to buy shares.
причем собственность делится на акции
Proprietorships, partnerships and corporations have certain advantages and disadvantages. These can be considered using the following criteria: simplicity, ability to raise capital, liability, control, taxation, etc.
Since* no one form of business organization is perfect, so-called hybrids have been devised like: franchises, limited partnership, cooperatives, and joint ventures. By the end of 1987 over 250 foreign firms had expressed an interest in setting up joint ventures in the territory of the ex-USSR. It was decided that joint ventures would contribute to further development of the country’s trade, economic, scientific and technical cooperation. A lot of joint ventures have been set up in different branches of industry and in the service sector since Russia started carrying out major economic reforms. Joint ventures play an important role in attracting foreign technology, management experience and additional material and financial resources.
Поскольку
There are certain legal requirements for Russian and foreign participants wishing to set up a joint venture. A joint venture must be a legal entity to have the right to conclude contracts in its name*. There are several stages in the process of a joint venture creation in the Russian territory. They are negotiations on the possibility of establishing J.V., the signing of a protocol of intentions, the drafting of a feasibility study, the preparation of the foundation documents and at last the registration of the J.V.
Для того чтобы иметь право заключать контракты от своего имени, совместное предприятие должно быть юридическим лицом.
