...partnership, it is necessary to consider these issues up front; including how to divide profits, how to resolve disagreements, and if necessary, how to dissolve the partnership. Many partnerships do not need upfront agreements, but it is quite risky to operate without one (SBA, "Partnership"). When forming a Partnership, it is most important to register your business with the state the business will be conducted in. You also need to decide on a business name. Once the business is registered, the business needs to obtain licenses and any required permits. The license and permit required can affect the type of partnership that is formed (SBA, "Partnership"). The three different types of partnerships include: General Partnership, Limited Partnerships and Joint Ventures. General Partnerships mean that all profits, liabilities, and the duties of management are divided equally between the parties involved. A Limited Partnership is a bit more complex. Limited Partnerships allow each partner to have limited liability as well as limited input with regard to management of the business. Each of these limits is determined by what percentage each partner has. A Joint Venture functions only for a limited period of time (SBA, "Partnership"). Partnerships have advantages and disadvantages. Partnerships tend to...

...Introduction The IMF is an intergovernmental institution established by an international treaty in 1945 to create a framework for international economic cooperation focusing on balance of payment problems and the stability of currencies. IMF headquarters is in Washington D.C, U.S.A History / establishment of IMF: IMF was founded on 27th December, 1945. During the closing years of world war second, different countries realized that there must be a common International Forum for achieving economy cooperation, promoting International Trade and providing help to needy nations during emergency.

Purposes/ objectives The purposes...

...Making Sense of Small Business Set-Asides in Government Contracting From the Viewpoint of a Contract Specialist with the Department of Veterans Affairs As a new contract specialist in the federal government, one of the first concepts we learn is full and open competition. Full and open competition is one of the fundamental principles of federal contracting. Healthy competition is the lifeblood of commerce. It promotes innovation, quality and savings. Contracting officers (COs) are required by law to procure supplies and services on a competitive basis. In 1984, the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) was passed and introduced the phrase full and open competition into the world of government contracting (Nash, Schooner, O’Brien-DeBakey, Edwards 111). CICA requires that contracts be competed as full and open so as to allow any qualified company to submit an offer ((Blogger). This principle is echoed in section 13.104 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). It states that the CO must promote competition to the maximum extent practicable to obtain supplies and services from the source whose offer is the most advantageous to the Government (Federal Acquisition Regulation “FAR” 322). While FAR part 6 implements CICA and addresses competition requirements it must be noted that there are three levels: full and open competition; full and open competition after exclusion...

...Small Business Introduction “Ensuring small businesses can thrive is about more than economic success. It’s also about who we are as a people. It’s about a nation where anybody who’s got a good idea and a willingness to work hard can succeed. That’s the central promise of America.” “Small businesses are leaders in innovation and drivers of the economy. Small businesses hold more patents than all of the nation’s universities and largest corporations combined, and create two thirds of all private sector jobs, employing half of all working Americans. The Federal government is the largest buyer in the world, spending over $500 billion each year. For the Federal government contracting with small businesses is common sense. Small businesses get the revenue they need to create jobs and drive the economy forward, and federal agencies get the creativity, innovation, and technical expertise of small businesses to help accomplish their mission. When small businesses are excluded from federal contracts, the Federal government, American taxpayers, and the nation’s economy lose out.” Interagency Task Force on Federal Contracting Opportunities for Small Business Objectives • Identify the elements of the Department of Defense (DoD) Small Business Program for defense acquisitions to include the overall policy and regulations, small business goals, small business size standards, non-manufacturer rule, and North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes. • Identify...

During expansion, it must evaluate its position and its future potential and make decisions as to the structure and operations of the company, current and future obligations, its risks, the kind of workforce that is necessary, and how to implement this body of people for maximum effectiveness and profits. Acme Fireworks is no different. Acme Fireworks is a fireworks retailer and display company that has grown from humble beginnings in a garage to 15 employees in the last two years. It is a sole proprietorship. But the company is experiencing an increase in sales and interest. The company is also exploring the option of expanding into fireworks displays for venues as several local businesses have made inquiries about supplying such a service. This may facilitate future growth, but how? The owner is asking the manager to explore and recommend options. Of particular importance, the owner of Acme Fireworks has been in preliminary negotiations with business customers inquiring about large fireworks displays. The owner explains that the orders could be filled, but has not specified a delivery. It was also discussed that most of the cost of a display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the service...
