Business Organization

A business organisation is an entity that was formed to carry out activities to achieve vision and missions. This form of business is governed by legal systems such as the Property Act, Contract Act, Incorporation Rules, and National Insurance Act, among others.

The three most prevalent types of business enterprises are sole partnerships, proprietorships, and limited liability companies (or corporations). In the first type, a single person owns and supervises the entire operation on a day-to-day basis. The great majority of businesses are in this situation. In the case of an LLP, which includes huge legal or accounting companies, advertising agencies, and brokerage houses, the partnership can include 2 – 20 or more members. This sort of business is owned by the partners, and they may earn different portions of the profits depending on their investment or participation. The firm must be reconstructed as a new partnership when a partner leaves or a new partner enters. The limited-liability corporation, or company, is the third category, and it refers to incorporated groupings of people—that is, a group of individuals treated as a legal entity with powers, property, and obligations separate from those of its members. This type of business is also legally distinct from its employees, whether they are employees, shareholders, or both; it can form legal relationships with them, execute contracts with them, and sue and be sued by them.

Forms of business organization

There are various types of business organisations based on how the company is founded, owned, and operated. Sole proprietor, partnership, and corporation are the three basic types of business organisation. More or less every type of business organisation has advantages and disadvantages. A sole proprietor of a small business, for example, can work independently of most of the government regulation that impacts larger businesses, but he or she is subject to liability (responsible) for all of the business’s financial risks. As a result, the owner of a small grocery store can keep all of the profits for herself, but she is also personally responsible for all of her business debts, even unless she can repay a debt with her management of a business organisation

The most fundamental kind of management is a partnership. Each partner (unless a limited partner) is required to participate in the firm’s business management.

The management structures of companies or corporations are more complicated. The most basic is that contemplated by English, Italian, Belgian, and Scandinavian law, where a company’s shareholders elect a board of directors who collectively manage the company’s business and reach decisions by a majority of votes, but also have the power to delegate any of one’s powers, or even the whole management of the company’s business, to one or more of their number.

Characteristics of business organisation 

Organizations have three distinctive features: 

 (1) they have more than one member (at least when formed).

(2) they have assets which are legally owned and is separate from the private assets of members.

 (3) they have a formal management system that may or may not include members of the association.

The business association’s first element, the plurality of membership, distinguishes it from a single-owner business, that does not need to be regulated internally by law since the sole owner has entire control over the assets. Because the sole owner is personally liable for the company’s debts and obligations, no special rules beyond bankruptcy law are required to safeguard the company’s creditors.

A management system, the second crucial aspect, differs widely. Members who contribute the assets have the right to participate in management in a simple form of the business association unless otherwise agreed. In the more sophisticated pattern of association, such as the company or an organisation of the Anglo-American common-law countries, members have no immediate right to participate in the process of the association’s affairs; however, they are legally entitled to appoint and dismiss the managers (also identified as directors, managers or president), and their consent is required by law (even if only pro forma) for major changes in the company’s structure or actions, such as a merger.

Conclusion

The term business organisation refers to how businesses are structured and how that structure aids them in meeting their objectives. In general, businesses are created with the goal of either making a profit or improving society. A for-profit organisation is solely concerned with making a profit. When an organisation focuses on enhancing the social good through the arts, youth development, health care, or another area, it is referred to as a nonprofit (or not-for-profit) organisation and is not usually referred to as a business.
