Which form of ownership, between partnership and sole trader is best to pick when starting a company in South Africa as a whole
1.3. Aim
The aim of this project is to show which form of ownership especially in a construction company will be more profitable. We are concentrating on a joint venture (partnership) or sole trader
1.4. Hypothesis
I believe that a sole trader can be more successful (in terms of profitability) in a construction business because a sole trader does not only raise the capital on his/her own but also gets all the returns/profit back to himself/herself . This makes the owner of the company and business itself, grow financially.
1.5. Limitations

Most of these companies that apply for tenders are sole trader companies that are very successful. These companies see to it that they complete the job successfully without any investors or partnerships, therefore it is clear to me that there no reason to fall into a partnership if you can get a tender without an investor and getting a loan, to complete the tender, pay back the loan and still have something in your pocket as profit or returns. The downfall is that if you (as an owner) might not be able to raise …show more content…

    The term “small business” is a term that is often related to “mom & pop” shops, but what people don’t realize is that small businesses make up more than 99.7% of all employers (Hatten, 2012). In the service industry alone more than 71% of companies are small businesses. As it is true that most “mom & pop” shops are small businesses, some are just people who are self-employed, and some are entrepreneurs. Self-employed people can be entrepreneurs just as small business owners can, the difference between the two would “be the desire and ability for growth,” (Shelton, 2013). Small businesses make up a large portion of the revenue that goes into a community.…

    The taxation system for the individuals and the businesses is different as the incomes generated from the sole proprietorship business is charged as the personal income of the individual, the income being generated from the partnership form of a business is also charged as the personal income of the individual partner, as the tax is levied down on the partner’s income and not on the partnership.
