Individual entrepreneurship, as a rule, has rather limited opportunities and applies mainly to small businesses.
For the same variety as large business, as a rule, it is relevant to combine the efforts of several people at once, which as a result turns into a collective business.
Business partnerships are such associations of several partners with the aim of organizing joint entrepreneurial activity or business in which the participation of all individuals is necessarily confirmed by an agreement or a written agreement. Persons signing this basic contract are considered to be founders.
They have a full right to participate in the management of all matters, distribution of profits, obtaining information about all types of partnership activities, familiarization with all documentation. In addition, in the event of the liquidation of the partnership, the founders receive a part of its property or the corresponding monetary equivalent.
For a closer and more fruitful union, business partnerships, as a rule, are formed as enterprises in which not only efforts but also the capital of their founders are combined. The initial contribution is called a share or charter.
Partnerships are divided into full and limited partnerships depending on the type of property liability.
According to the Civil Code, business partnerships are commercial, i.e. organizations that set profit as their primary goal. At the same time, partnerships that do not have legal status do not have the right to be considered independent entities, because They do not have a charter, sometimes even a name.
Business partnerships and companies as their property capital may have fixed assets, such as buildings, equipment, structures, working capital - stocks of materials, raw materials, finished goods, work in progress, monetary resources and other values.
The size of the authorized capital, which, according to the main contract, have business partnerships, is a guarantee for all those organizations with which their business is connected .
The partnership must have at least two participants, and its only constituent document is an agreement that is signed by all the founders, referred to as full partners.
In turn, a business society is the most classic, universal, and most widespread form of corporation in the world.
Today, Russian legislation provides for three legal organizational forms of business entities.
The most common is a limited liability company. It can be established by several or one person. Its authorized capital in the constituent document is divided into shares.
In turn, participants of another form - companies with additional responsibility, have joint and several subsidiary liability in a specific amount that is a multiple of their contributions.
Another form - a joint-stock company, becomes a legal entity from the moment of receiving state registration. It must have a specific address and be sure to name.
In this case, a joint stock company can be of two types - closed and open. Each type is determined by the way in which the authorized capital is formed, the composition of the founders and, as a consequence, the status of participants.
For example, in a closed joint-stock company, all shares are distributed among a certain circle of persons indicated in advance who have the preemptive right to acquire them from other shareholders.
