When it comes to partnerships Alex, Bill, Carl, and Devon will have two options- a general partnership or a limited partnership. Partnerships are beginning to be a business form of the past. Once upon a time, partnerships were “the default form of business and provided the benefit of pass-through taxation, but lacked the important feature of limited liability” (Chrisman, 2010, p. 465). In a general partnership, each partner associated with the entity will be held liable for their own business decisions as well as
A partnership is the best form of business given Shania’s situation. She has support from all angles that want to help her Christian coffee shop be a success. A limited liability partnership is best suited for Shania because of her possible partnerships with her husband, sister, and neighbor. According to the Limited Partnership (2015) article, this form of business is a “voluntary association where one or more partners contribute capital only, and those partners play no role in management.” Her husband wanted to make a contribution to Shania’s business but not in the lane of management, so by using this partnership he can still contribute his capital and maintain his partnership. The liability is limited to the amount of capital that the partner contributes. As a “silent partner” Marvin can make investments with the company, but not have any voting power or control over day-to-day operations.

Some of the benefits of a partnership are the ability to raise more capital and to share ownership responsibilities (Block, et al., 2015, p. 9). With committed partners it is possible to have a successful partnership.

The siblings’ father passed away after operating a successful sole proprietorship for many years, so there will be a definite change in business forms. A sole proprietorship is no longer an option due to the amount of members. Fleischman and Bryant (2000) explain that this form of business “is an option only for a business with one owner” (p. 2).
‘A partnership should have two or more people who directly own and operate a business. (James 2014, p. 504)
