Context
If you walk down any high street, you will notice that many of the shops display their names for all to see. It may be Robinson the butcher, Brown, Macy and Brown solicitors, as well as known chain stores such as Marks and Spencer plc or Hodson's Limited. All are businesses, but each with a different status in terms of how is operated, who the owner is and how any profit is shared.

The Sole Trader/Proprietor
This is the most common form of business organisation. One person provides the finances and in return, has full control of the business and is able to keep all the profits.

The Sole Trader/Proprietor

Able to choose times and patterns of working.
Able to establish close personal relationships with staff (if any are employed) and customers.

Long hours often necessary to make business pay.

agree to the transfer. Private Limited Companies are often family businesses owned by
members of the family or close friends. The directors of these companies tend to be shareholders and are
involved in the running of the business. Many manufacturing firms are Private Limited Companies rather
than Sole Traders or Partnerships

Public Limited Companies
A plc cannot begin trading until it has completed these tasks and has received at least 25% payment for the value of shares.
It will then receive a Trading Certificate and can begin operating.
The shares will be quoted on the Stock Exchange or the Alternative Investment Market (AIM).
The Stock Exchange is a market where second hand shares are bought and sold. A full Stock Exchange listing means that the company must comply with the rules and regulations laid down by the Stock Exchange.
The Alternative Investment Market (AIM) is designed for companies which want to avoid some of the high costs of a full listing.

Going Public is Expensive
The company needs lawyers to ensure that the prospectus is ‘legally’ correct.
A large number of publications have to be made available.
The company must use financial institutions to process share application.
The share has to be underwritten. A fee is paid to an underwriter who must buy any unsold shares.
The company will have advertising and administrative expenses.
The company must have a minimum of $50,000 share capital.

Exiting the Stock Market
Sometimes a business operating as a Public Limited Company is taken back into private ownership. Why does this happen?
![Page 22: INTRODUCTION TO ORGANISATIONS INTRODUCTION TO ORGANISATIONS K. Venkat Swamy M.B.A., M.Com., B.Ed., (ICWAI) swamybks1@gmail.com Ph.No.009609973472 India](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551c23ec550346a84f8b5cd3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Exiting the Stock Market

The business may be bought outright by a private individual.
