Advantages and disadvantages of having a business plan

Advantages Disadvantages

Increases chance of success Making a forecast doesn´t mean it will happen

May make the entrepreneur realise that he lacks Problems arise if the plan is too rigid, better make
the skills needed for making part of the plan, it more flexible so that they are prepared if things
therefore try harder to employ an expert don´t go as planned.

Business success is often about people not paper

TYPES OF BUSINESSES




Sole Traders:


3

,  This is the smallest type of business in the UK
 A sole trader:
 Is owned and controlled by one person
 May nor require a lot of money to set-up
 Is the easiest type of business to set-up
 Is unincorporated:
 This means that legally the owner and the business are the same
 Has unlimited liability
 E.g. hair dressers, small shops, ice cream vans.



Unlimited liability: If a business has unlimited liability then the owner is responsible for ALL
debts, these debts have to be paid even if the business hasn´t got the money so they may have
to sell their own assets to raise money.



Limited liability: Owners or shareholders can only lose the money they have put in to the
business. E.g. if you have put 1,000$ then that if the mostly you will lose. Also, you do not have
to pay off the debts using their own money so their own possessions are not at risk.



ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Unlimited liability (can lose more than he put
They are easy to set up
into the business)

They are usually small so little money is needed Money may be difficult to obtain


The owner makes all the decisions Costs are usually higher


The owner can keep all the profits Prices are usually higher


Accounts can be kept private Holidays may be difficult to take


Can respond to customer needs quickly Illness can close the business


Owners may have to work long hours
