There are some advantages of having single proprietorship type of business, the first one (1) Only the owner will have all the profit from the business. All the money that his or her business will earn is all for her. The second advantage of having this type of business is (2) Easy management of the business, because you don't have need to argue to someone who has any idea because you are the only one who runs the business. If there is advantages, it also have disadvantages, the first one is (1) all the problems of the business, only you will suffer.

Third (3) Limited life is also considered as disadvantage, because if the owner died, the business also will stop and die.

Partnership(Advantages and Disadvantages)
These are the advantages of partnership type of business. Let me enumerate it. The First one is (1) having more capital rather than single proprietorship business. You can have more capital in this type of business, because, you can have many investors for your planned business. Second advantage is(2) Many ideas. You can ask you partners for ideas in innovating the business if you want to improve your business, and if there's any problem, all of you will suffer, not only one.

1st Official Entry for 2nd Quarter: "Different types of Capital"


There are three types of capital, Fixed Capital, Circulating Capital and Free Capital. The First one is the (1) Fixed Capital, this capital is good to have in a particular business. Because this capital refers to permanent things or things that we owned and has value. This thing that we have is called "Collateral". Collateral are the things that we can be proud of having it. We can use this things to have a fixed capital. For example, I have a business and I need to borrow money from bank and have a fixed capital. I have my own land,cars, and buildings. This things I can used as collateral and I will have a money for my capital. This example can be used in loaning from a bank. Bank is always looking for collateral or things that have value on it.So if the owner of the business cannot return and pay that he(or she) loan, his(or her) collateral will be taken of the bank.

The second type of capital is (2) Circulating capital . This capital is taking risk. The capital goods that are use is only once or sometimes, no more. For example, I have a business, "Drinking water Supply" . I am supplying drinking water in our village. Then, my capital is only just enough for the half of people in our village. Then, all of a sudden, all people in our village buy from my business some supply of drinking waters. Now, I need to get from my capital to supply the water that I need for my business. The capital circulates, when they buy again from me, I will earn again and put it on my capital. This is an example of circulating capital, it means that when something is gone, you need to replace it and replenish.

The last type of capital is
(3) Free Capital. For me, this is the best capital among the two. Because this type of capital is easy to have, but you need to take the risk. This type of capital is common. The best example for having this capital is having a business like "JUNK-SHOP". Because you will have a free capital by buying and selling plastic bottles and any other recyclable things. So for me, if I will have a business. I will choose this type of capital. These are the three different types of Capital.
