(1) Introduction

The four most common types of business organizations are partnership, sole trader, private limited companies (LTD) and public limited companies (PLC). Partnerships and sole traders have unlimited liability which means they are personally liable/responsible for the debts of the business. On the other hand PLC and LTD have limited liability, which means that the owner is not personally liable for the debts of the business. All businesses have to face stakeholders. A stakeholder is anyone who has interest in a particular business such as clients, government, banks, suppliers, owners, investors, employees etc.

Sole traders consists of only one person running the business who has unlimited liability and 100 percent of the shares of the company.
