Concept of Entrepreneur

Who is an 'Entrepreneur‘?

An entrepreneur is an individual who, rather than working as an employee, runs his/her own business and assumes all the risks and rewards of a given business venture.

Entrepreneurship is the propensity of the mind to take calculated risks with confidence to achieve a pre determined business or industrial objective.

It is the risk taking ability of an individual coupled with correct decision making.

Distribution of Economic power: Small-scale Business are the seed-bed for entrepreneurship therefore they help in equitable distribution of economic power instead of it getting concentrated in the hands of certain big industrialists.

Optimum utilization of regional resources: The small-scale entrepreneurs generally rely on the regional resources for their production needs.

21

Advantages of developing and encouraging Entrepreneurship (cont..)

Meeting the demand gap by seizing appropriate opportunity: Entrepreneurs have the knack of seizing the opportunities existing in the environment as pointed out earlier. Therefore they always study the demand gap keenly and utilize their entrepreneurial ventures too meet such demand gaps.

Export potential: Whenever entrepreneurial ventures are the results of innovations, they create an opportunity for export. As we are aware a number of entrepreneurial ventures are the results of innovation. Hence, they always add to the export potential.

Regional Development: Regional development is one of the key advantage of entrepreneurial ventures.

22

The individual. Individuals who initiate, establish, maintain and expand new enterprises generate entrepreneurship in a society.

Environment. This factor is constituted by the socio-political and economic policies of the government and financial institutions and the opportunities available in a society as a result of such policies.

Socio-cultural factors. Entrepreneurs grow in the traditions of families and societies and internalize certain values and norms from these sources. The contribution from these socio-cultural factors, in the process of transmission, gets filtered through the individual whom it seeks to influence.

Support system. Support systems that work for the development of entrepreneurs include financial and commercial institutions, research, training, extension and consultancy services, as also large industrial units interested in developing ancillary industries.

Types of Ventures

28

Sole Proprietorship

One of the most popular business types, namely because it's one of the simplest and only requires an individual.

In a nutshell, a sole proprietorship is a business that's owned by just one person.

There isn't a legal or financial distinction between the business and the business owner, which means that you as the business owner are fully accountable for all of the profits, liabilities and legal issues that your business may encounter.

Instead, just by owning a business on your own, a sole proprietorship is automatically associated with your new business.

Keep in mind, however, that depending on your product or service (and your location), you may need to access a specific license or other documents.

29

Advantages of Sole Proprietorship:

Many sole proprietorships are one-owner businesses.

An individual owns and operates the business and is responsible for all business transactions.

He may or may not have any employees.

He can close it, sell it or pass it down to his heirs at any time.

A sole proprietor pays taxes as a part of his individual income tax filing.

Some businesses may require licensing.

However, the costs of obtaining a license for sole proprietors are substantially less than those for corporations.

Start-up costs for sole proprietorship are very low.

30

Disadvantages of Sole Proprietorship:

The main disadvantage of sole proprietorships is the owner's personal liability for all debts incurred by the business.

Creditors may come after an owner's personal assets if a small business is unable to cover debts.

Sole proprietors may have difficulty obtaining business loans.

Financial institutions are reluctant to lend to them as many small business loans go into default when companies struggle to stay afloat.

While a sole proprietorship does not pay taxes, the owner may have to pay higher taxes as his profits increase.

31

Two heads are better than one, right?

A partnership might be appropriate if your business is owned by two or more people.

Keep in mind that with this type of business, business responsibilities, including financial and legal, fall upon each business owner.

Depending on how the ownership is divided (either equally or not), there are different types of partnerships for you to explore from a legal standpoint.

A partnership does require that you register your business with your state and establish an official business name.

After that, you'll then be required to obtain a business license, along with any other documentation that your state office can help you with.

Partnership

32

Advantages of Partnership:

Capital – Due to the nature of the business, the partners will fund the business with start up capital. This means that the more partners there are, the more money they can put into the business, which will allow better flexibility and more potential for growth. It also means more potential profit, which will be equally shared between the partners.

Flexibility – A partnership is generally easier to form, manage and run. They are less strictly regulated than companies, in terms of the laws governing the formation and because the partners have the only say in the way the business is run (without interference by shareholders) they are far more flexible in terms of management, as long as all the partners can agree.

Shared Responsibility – Partners can share the responsibility of the running of the business. This will allow them to make the most of their abilities. Rather than splitting the management and taking an equal share of each business task, they might well split the work according to their skills. So if one partner is good with figures, they might deal with the book keeping and accounts, while the other partner might have a flare for sales and therefore be the main sales person for the business.

Decision Making – Partners share the decision making and can help each other out when they need to. More partners means more brains that can be picked for business ideas and for the solving of problems that the business encounters.

33

Disadvantages of Partnership:

Disagreements – One of the most obvious disadvantages of partnership is the danger of disagreements between the partners. Obviously people are likely to have different ideas on how the business should be run, who should be doing what and what the best interests of the business are.

Liability – Ordinary Partnerships are subject to unlimited liability, which means that each of the partners shares the liability and financial risks of the business. Which can be off putting for some people. This can be countered by the formation of a limited liability partnership, which benefits from the advantages of limited liability granted to limited companies, while still taking advantage of the flexibility of the partnership model.

Taxation – One of the major disadvantages of partnership, taxation laws mean that partners must pay tax in the same way as sole traders, each submitting a Self Assessment tax return each year.

Profit Sharing – Partners share the profits equally. This can lead to inconsistency where one or more partners aren’t putting a fair share of effort into the running or management of the business, but still reaping the rewards.

34

Limited Partnership

A limited partnership, or LP, is an offshoot version of a general partnership, and while it may not be as common, it's a great bet for businesses who are looking to raise capital from investors who aren't interested in working the day to day aspects of your operations.

With an LP, there are two sets of partners, one of which is known as a general partner.

The general partner is usually involved in the everyday business decisions, and has personal liability.

On the other hand, there's also a limited partner (typically an investor), who are not liable for debts and don't partake in regular business management of said company.

Just like a general partnership, if you enter an LP agreement, you'll need to register your business with the state, establish a business name.

35

Corporation

A corporation, is a fully independent business (when public) that's made up of multiple shareholders who are provided with stock in a new business.

The only problem with this is that your profits will be taxed twice, both at the corporate level and at the personal level.

Don't let this fact deter you however - this is extremely common, and if you currently work for a company with multiple employees, that's likely the business structure they're using.

Most likely, if you're starting off as a smaller business, particularly one that only operates online, declaring yourself as a corporation wouldn't be appropriate.

But if you truly are a corporation, you'll need to file very specific documents with the state, followed by obtaining the appropriate business licenses and permits.

36

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

An LLC is a newer type of business that is a blend between a sole proprietorship and a corporation.

Instead of shareholders, with LLCs, owners are referred to as members.

No matter how many members a particular LLC has, there must be a managing member who takes care of the daily business operations.

The main difference between an LLC and a corporation is that LLC’s aren't taxed as its own business entity.

Instead, all profits and losses are moved from the business to the LLC members, who then, instead of having to report business finances on a corporate return, can report profits and losses on a personal federal tax return.

The nice thing about pursuing an LLC is that members aren't personally liable for business decisions or actions of the company in question, and there's far less paperwork involved in creating an LLC as compared to a corporation.

37

Nonprofit Organization

It’s a business organization that's intended to promote educational or charitable purposes.

The "non-profit" aspect comes into play in that any money earned by the company must be kept by the organization to pay for its expense, programs, etc.

Keep in mind that there are several types of nonprofits available, many of which can receive "tax exempt" status.

This process requires filing paperwork, including an application, with the government for them to recognize you as a nonprofit organization.

Depending on the parameters of your new business, they'll be able to tell you which category you best fall under.

38

Cooperative

A business that's fully owned and operated for the benefit of the members of the organization that use its services.

In other words, whatever is earned by the cooperative is then shelled out among the members themselves, and aren't required to be paid out to any external stakeholders, etc.

Unlike other types of businesses, which have shareholders, cooperatives sell shares to cooperative "members," who then have a say in the operations and direction of the cooperative itself.

The main difference in the process of becoming a cooperative, as opposed to the other types of businesses listed, is that your organization must create bylaws, have a membership application and have a board of directors with a charter member meeting.

Franchisee

FRANCHISOR OR FRANCHISEE?

A franchise is merely a legal document that defines a commercial relationship between the owner of a trademark or trade name and an individual or group that wants to use that identification in business.

If you own a trademark you can choose to distribute your product all by yourself, or you can create a contract with others who wish to distribute the product you created.

In the simplest form, a franchisor owns the right to the name or trademark, and sells that right to a franchisee.

This is known as a product/trade name franchising.

The franchise often provides a full range of services including site selection, training, product supply, marketing plans, and even assistance in obtaining financing.

42

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Established product or service High costs of agreement
Technical and managerial assistance Too high expectations of success
Quality control standards Over dependence
Less operating capital Fixed performance standards
Higher probability of survival Competition with performance of other franchisees
Opportunities for growth, sub franchisees Restrictions on freedom of decision
Potential lower cost supplies because of quantity purchasing No choice of suppliers
Use of franchisor’s secret methods Fear of termination of agreement

Who is a Serial Entrepreneur?

An entrepreneur who continuously comes up with new ideas and starts new businesses.

As opposed to a typical entrepreneur, who will often come up with an idea, start the company, and then see it through and play an important role in the day to day functioning of the new company.

A serial entrepreneur will often come up with the idea and get things started, but then give responsibility to someone else and move on to a new idea and a new venture.

This can be a good thing if the individual has lots of unique ideas and is the best one suited to get each one started, but can be a bad thing if the individual stops putting time into a company that needs his or her help, in order to try to move forward with a new idea that may or may not succeed.
