...Investors provide enough funding for corporations to make quality goods and services that are highly valued by costumers and enables growth of the corporation.

Understanding corporate finance allows managers to make monetary decisions that achieve the goal of adding value for investors and thus contribute to a company’s competitiveness and profitability in long run. (b) Organizational Forms There are three types of organizational forms for companies to choose based on different expected speed of growth and the amount of owners. The easiest way to start a business is to begin as a proprietorship, which is owned by one person. It subjects to the minimum amount of government regulations and tax liability. However, the life proprietorship is limited to the life of owner. The owner is subject to unlimited liability. Also, founder is hard to raise capital for a proprietorship to meet growth requirements.

...Week one notes Note: These notes are not a substitute to the textbook. They merely highlight important points and add some needed information to the assigned text. The title of this course is Management of Financial Institutions. This is a very broad and a far reaching topic. To make it possible, the course will concentrate on Bank management. Many of the concepts we will learn in course are transferable to other financial institutions. To begin the discussion, let us define banks. What is a bank? What do Banks do? A bank is a chartered financial institution that accepts savings deposits and makes commercial loans. This is the most basic definition of a bank. However, if you look at banks, you will see that they take many types of deposits and make many types of loans. In addition, if you are familiar with banks, you will notice that they act as intermediaries in many financial transactions. The banking is a vital function of the economy; without banks, the economy will not function properly. Why? The answer is that banks provide the link between savers and borrowers. In the US, people are net savers and businesses are net borrowers. Without banks and some other financial institutions, the borrowers, businesses, will not be able to raise finds by borrowing from people, the savers. This function takes many forms. We will look at some if these forms in this course and in other courses in the finance concentration in the MBA program. The Nature of Banking in the US ...

...organizational forms a company might have as it evolves from a start-up to a major corporation. List the advantages and disadvantages of each form. The three main forms of business organizations are: Sole proprietorship, Partnerships and corporations. The main advantages of a Proprietorship are: it is easily and inexpensively formed, it is subject to few government regulations, and the business pays no corporate income taxes. Its disadvantages are: it is difficult for a proprietorship to obtain large sums of capital, the proprietor has unlimited personal liability for the business debts, and the life of the business is limited to the life of the owner. The major advantage of a partnership is its low cost and ease of formation. The disadvantages are similar to those associated with proprietorships: unlimited liability, limited life of the organization, difficulty of transferring ownership, and difficulty of raising large amounts of capital. The tax treatment of a partnership is similar to that for proprietorships, which is often an advantage.

While the corporate form offers significant advantages over proprietorships and partnerships, it does have two primary disadvantages: corporate earnings may be subject to double taxation and setting up a corporation and filing the many required state and federal reports is more complex and...
