S. small business administration can help with (SBA, 2005). While this is not necessary it can prove useful for legitimizing or legalizing certain aspects of business operations and help businesses with financing and support from investors.
An organization will next have to decide a location for their business and select a business structure, which is not limited to a corporation but may also include a sole proprietorship, limited liability company or partnership (Secretary of State, 2005). The California Chamber of Commerce can help with this by examining the industry, whether financial or otherwise and helping the business determine what permits or expenses will need to be covered to acquire the desired location (Secretary of State, 2005). Next a new business will have to file for tax identification and employer identification numbers and documents, and acquire any licenses or permits necessary to operate within the State of California (Secretary of State, 2005).

Marketing Business Entity
In today's capitalistic global environment, the actions of a business entity, whether they be good or bad, can have wide-ranging effects. A business that chooses to act in an unethical manner can impact a large number of people. For example, consider the influence of an unethical business that chooses to manufacture paper in third world country. This business not only treats its employees unfairly through substandard wages and working conditions, but also pollutes the environment by dumping paper bleaching agents into ocean. These bleaching agents could ultimately damage aspects of the ocean ecosystem, potentially impacting fishermen, recreational divers, and even other businesses in the area. The poor ethical practices of this business could cause local governments to be wary of allowing other businesses in the area. Further, this business (like the famous Enron and WorldCom cases) misleads shareholders by juggling its financial figures, which may ultimately lead to…...

S corporations must be domestic in nature, issue only one kind of stock, and have less than a hundred shareholders: given that Frank only has aspirations to have a U.S.-based business, this entity type would seem ideal, although he might need some legal help to file as an S Corporation.
Professional practice: An LLC, or limited liability corporation, is the most popular type of entity structure for professional groups such as doctor's offices, accountants, and other small enterprises. As owners, Akiva and Tara would not be personally liable for the debts of the LLC, although constructing the entity is more complicated, legally, than a joint proprietorship. Given the insurance risks of running a birth clinic and the dangers of litigation, anything but an LLC would be unwise. Additionally, in some states, owners are "protected from personally liability from certain acts or misconduct of other partners, employees, agents, or their representatives"…...

Felipe's inability to speak English would be a liability to the company and a possible safety threat, so he should not be hired as well. That leaves Eric and Michelle, who are both qualified candidates and could therefore both be hired. Even though Eric does not have a high school diploma, his life experience should make up for the lack of education, and he knows how to work a jackhammer. Michelle is perfectly qualified, and cannot be turned down solely because of her (supposed) pregnancy, and is therefore the top choice according to the criteria. However, if either of their interviews provided a legitimate reason to why they would not be able to work, they would not have to be hired.

However, as Nick is unqualified for the position, the medical question is moot -- Nick would not be hired because he has no experience.
Michelle has some past experience and would be under consideration. Under the terms of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of pregnancy in employment. The Act does not explicitly prohibit Mei-Lin from inquiring about the pregnancy, but it is recommended that she refrain from doing so, as that inquiry could be used against the company in a discrimination suit should Michelle not be hired. Although ethics are not encompassed in the law, from an ethical point-of-view it would be irresponsible for SureBuild to hire Michelle, as working as a jackhammer operator would put the fetus at risk, there could be legal action taken against the company as a result for failing to provide the fetus with adequate duty of care.

BUSINESS COMPANIES Business Companies: Business Entity Implications for ContractsSole ProprietorshipA sole proprietorship is defined as a business owned by one person. The advantages include whole ownership entitled only to the proprietor himself, low taxes, and rarer complications for launching (Treece, 2018). However, there are also pitfalls, such as less protection when under threat of legal cases, profit and losses are the only income, and seeking new businesses would be an issue. The business owner is responsible for making negotiations, decisions, judgments, and signing and approving contracts. A sole proprietorship does not protect the business owner as he is the only person running the person, and if anything goes wrong with the supplier, he could be easily sued (Lawrence, n.d.). As a single person owns the business, the contracts authenticity is low.PartnershipA business partnership is a firm started between two or more people who share their skills and risks along with…...

financial statements by business entities. The purpose of this is so that one can understand about the business cash, how the business acquired or generated it, how it was used and in what ways and tomorrow's business plans, financial position of a business, performances and its position. The paper will go ahead to analyze if there is any significance of cash for the survival of a business and the impacts of the various financial sets. The arguments that will prevail will be based on the importance of the different financial statements to a business survival.
Cash is a crucial constituent of a business and I do agree that a business cannot survive without it. 'As a matter of fact the main aim and goal of a business is to generate cash and profits not only in the short run but also in the long-term.' (Minnery, 2006) Every business has everyday…...

As part of the research triangle, Raleigh has a significant portion of its population that fits the target market. For the Farmery to succeed, it only needs to capture a small portion of the market share. This is especially true because the store has a small footprint, and has the flexibility to set up on vacant lots without the costs of either renting or developing fixed real estate. The Farmery therefore needs to focus on two or three key elements to ensure adequate market penetration.
The first of these is location. Let it not be understated that location, location, location is critical to the success of any retail business. Because food is not normally something that people are willing to travel more than a few miles for, it is important that the Farmery target a neighborhood where there is a high concentration of individuals that fit the target market. There…...

At present, Joe operates under the legal and tax status of a sole proprietorship. A sole proprietorship is an unincorporated business owned by one individual, in this case, Joe. A sole proprietorship is one of the most popular forms of business entities because legally and for tax purposes, is the simplest or least bureaucratic form of business organization to start and maintain. The business has no existence apart from the owner and is particularly popular with singular business entities, or local entities, such as Joe's business, which is limited to a fixed area, does not seem ripe for franchising, and has a steady…...

This is when the overall amounts of responsibilities are limited to: the percentage of ownership of the different shareholders. As a far as control is concerned, this means that management must carefully monitor who they are hiring to work as the jackhammer operator. The reason why, is because of the possibility of the on the job injuries that are work related. Taxation issues are limited mainly to the percentage of ownership of the various shareholders. As all income from the business will be divided and reported on the individual tax returns of the business owners. The possible liability issues include: workplace injuries, negligence and the loss of income that an employee can claim (in the event they are injured). To protect itself against the different risks, the business needs to have policies in place that will monitor the activities of managers, to ensure that they are following all regulations.…...

Business cluster refers to the geographical concentration of closely related businesses, suppliers, and firms belonging in a given field. The primary objective of forming these clusters is to boost the productivity with which firms compete at both national and international levels. Clusters are also crucial in the strategic management processes. This article discusses the benefits of such clusters, the management at domestic and international scales, and the negative aspects of clustering (DeWitt, Giunipero & Melton, 2006).
Concentrated clusters promote the management of supply chains by developing strong relationships between the customer and supplier. Employing the concept of concentrated clusters enhances the benefits a company derives from its interaction by linking various companies and other business entities within the same industry. Operating in concentrated cluster enables firms to understand the precise needs of customers and vice versa. With this situation in place, businesses are able to establish permanent clientele who in turn…...

Business Ethics
Ethical issues and dilemmas have always been hitting the operational performance and sustainability of business organizations. They directly affect the way an organization formulates and implements its policies, operates as an active participant in the industry, and competes with other organizations for the sake of accomplishing its strategic objectives. Ethical issues may relate to the organization's social responsibility or corporate responsibility; both are vital for the organization to ensure a sustainable future in its industry. This paper discusses an ethical issue which was faced by one of the world's most admired organizations -- Apple Inc. The main purpose of the paper is to highlight the ethical issue in which Apple was involved; the consequences of the ethical issue and the individuals involved in the process. The paper starts with a brief introduction to Apple; its main product offerings, industry, scale of operations, and major strategic decisions which it makes…...
