Types Of Business Which You Can Start

Sole proprietor

Definition: A sole proprietorship is a business that is owned and operated by a natural person (individual). This is the simplest form of business entity. The sole proprietorship is not a legal entity. The business has no existence separate from the owner who is called the proprietor.
Typical sole traders include the man-in-a-van type of occupation such as a plumber or electrician. However, the term can also apply to people who run small, web-based businesses from home.
This is the simplest and the most common type of business out there. The sole proprietor is responsible for everything the business does. You trade under your own name, with no separation of assets and liabilities. This means that you’ll be held personally liable for any debts that the business incurs
Partnership
business-partnership
Definition: A partnership is the relationship existing between two or more persons who join to carry on a trade or business. Each person contributes money, property, labour or skill, and expects to share in the profits and losses of the business. 
Partnerships are typically found in professional services such as accountants, lawyers, doctors, dentists etc, where the partners can share expertise and skills. They can also share the workload, organising work rotas to allow for time off and holidays. Partnerships comprise two or more people and any profits, debts and decisions related to the business are shared.
Company
company-type
Definition: A company is a legal entity made up of an association of persons, be they natural, legal, or a mixture of both, for carrying on a commercial or industrial enterprise. 
Companies are owned by shareholders who each put an amount of money into a central pool. This pool of capital is then added to by borrowing and other forms of finance. Directors run the company on behalf of shareholders, who receive a share of the profits. Each shareholder receives a portion – or share – of the company that is equivalent to what they put in.

Franchise

franchise-type-of-business
Definition: A franchise in its’ simplest form is an agreement or license entered into by two parties, the franchisor and the franchisee.
Franchises are licensing arrangements whereby an individual or group can buy the right to trade and produce under a well-known brand name in a given locality. A franchise involves you using another company’s successful business model – and name – to establish your own business. The franchisee benefits from working for themselves while having the privilege and reputation associated with a much larger group.

Limited liability

limited-liability
Definition: Limited liability is a type of liability that does not exceed the amount invested in a partnership or limited liability company. The limited liability feature is one of the biggest advantages of investing in publicly listed companies. 
Limited liabilities are intended to benefit professional partnerships such as lawyers, doctors etc. They offer a form of business protection for company shareholders and some limited partners. For these individuals, the maximum sum they can lose from a business venture that goes under, is the sum of money that they invested in the company.
Limited liability allows the members to limit their personal liability if something goes wrong with the business.

Story Of Haunted Monte Cristo Homestead, Australia

Image
If it is a Victorian manor, mob boss home, inner city cottage or other luxury residences they all have a spooky past which still make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. For the people who like a bit of a fright, or even the open minded non-believers, there are a number of haunted houses across NSW to test your nerve. The most well-known eerie spot is the Monte Cristo Homestead in Junee, which has had a ghost tour running for more than 10 years. The manor’s long and dark history includes a stable boy who was killed from his injuries after having his mattress set on fire when he called in sick for work; a mentally handicapped boy being chained to the cottage for 30 years; or the ever lingering spirit of Mrs Crawley, whose husband built the home in 1880s. “We don’t have a week go by without someone having a reaction to the house by either fainting, asthma attacks, hearing things or seeing full body apparitions,” Lawrence Ryan, whose family own the house and run the gho...

Story Of Haunted LaLaurie Mansion, New Orleans, Louisiana

IS THIS HOUSE WHERE SLAVES WERE TORTURED AT THE HANDS OF DELPHINE LALAURIE? If you've read anything about the ghosts and hauntings in New Orleans, there's no doubt that you've heard about the LaLaurie Mansion. It is one of the most popular stops on our  New Orleans Ghost Tours . Sometimes, people in the city won't even call it that, choosing to refer to 1140 Royal Street as "the Haunted House" instead. Fact is, in New Orleans the two are one and the same. Shows like American Horror Story have made an already infamous location that much more notorious. (Spoiler: be warned that producers took great creative liberties, as Hollywood tends to do.) The majority of filming was done at the Hermann-Grima House on St. Louis Street--probably for the best, honestly, as the mansion is rumored to be cursed. So, why are so many people intrigued by the LaLaurie Mansion? Why is it that on any given night people can be spotted standing around snapping photos of the buil...
