Step 2: How to Set Up the Paper

Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is double-spaced, 12-point font. The final product will be between 4-6 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page. You may not exceed six (6) pages so it is important to write clearly and concisely.

Follow this format. Consider making an outline to ensure the correct headings are in place and to keep you organize the paper.

• Title page with title, your name, the course, the instructor’s name; date
• Introduction – One paragraph
• Best Business Option
• Advantages and Disadvantages of the Different Business Forms
• Best Business Form for the Chosen Option
• Other Business Form
• Summary paragraph – One paragraph

Step 3: Read the following Case Scenario:

Gerald Kaye is a sole proprietor of an online jewelry business. He has invented a series of designs that revolve around a product called a necklet. The product is unique in that it can serve as a bracelet or a necklace. Kaye patented his invention and feels strongly that he retains ownership of his creations. The business has caught on and Kaye is considering starting a storefront. He knows to do so he will need a loan or obtain investment capital to make the expansion work.

The following week, several individuals approached Gerald with offers for his business, making it difficult for him to make a decision. After much though, Gerald put on paper the following options from which he will choose. He also has decided to keep an open mind when assessing each option.

Option 1:

• Jude Jones, who owns her own storefront, approached Gerald. Jude is looking to retire in a few years. She has an existing storefront business with significant inventory. She has proposed to Kaye that he come into the business as a partner. He would bring his online business and the jewelry designs. In return, Jude would offer the existing inventory and storefront. Profits would be split 50/50 and Kaye could maintain his ownership of the necklet patent. When Jones decides to retire, Kaye would have first right to buy her interest for half the current value of the business.

Option 2:

• Franchise R US, a huge consulting firm for individuals interested in matching investors with products for franchising, has matched Kaye with an investor to create a franchise line of necklet kiosks in malls around the country and abroad. Kaye would have to turn over his patent to the investor who would invest $250,000 in the marketing of the franchise line in exchange for 50% of the licensing profits for the first three years and 40% of the profits each year thereafter. The investor will return the patent to Kaye upon sale of the business or at the time he has recouped the original investment plus 7.5% interest, whichever comes first.

Option 3:

• Kaye could pursue a bank loan to expand his business on his own as a sole proprietorship.

Step 4: Write the Introduction

Create the introductory paragraph. The introductory paragraph is the first paragraph of the paper and tells a reader the main points covered in the paper.

Step 5: Answer the following required elements.

• You are to consider the different business forms and then select the option (option 1, 2, or 3) that is the best fit for Kaye to pursue;
• Create a table that identifies the advantages and disadvantages of each business form (Sole proprietorship, General partnership, Limited Liability partnership (LLP), Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) & corporation);

• Select the best business form for the chosen option and explain why this business form was selected and why it is the best business form for the option;
• Why were the other business forms not selected?

Step 6: Write the summary paragraph

Write the summary paragraph. A summary paragraph restates the main topics of the paper. Make sure to leave a reader with a sense that the paper is complete. The summary paragraph is the last paragraph of a paper and does not need a heading
