Research into setting up a small business.

I need to get a loan to set-up my small computer business; to set up my business I must draw up a partnership agreement with the help of a solicitor, to outline exactly how it will be organised. This should cover:

  • Who has put what into the business
  • Who does what work
  • How your profits are shared
  • What would happen if you decided to wind up the partnership

Each partner is personally liable for all debts incurred by the business. Trust in this type of business relationship is therefore crucial. If your partner incurs debts without telling you, you are as much liable for them as he or she is.

When I start up my business there are three options I can use to set-up the finance for my business.

Start-up Capital: This money that an owner or owners has got to invest into the business through either savings or loans from a bank or from friends.

Long-term finance: This is money that has been borrowed by the owner or owners. This money has to be paid back over a certain amount of time. Normally this money is provided by a bank or building society. But if there business went bankrupt the owner or owners would have to lose their house to pay off their debts to the bank.

Short-term finance: This is money that is borrowed by the owner or owners and has to be paid back in a period of time.

I will get the loan from Barclays bank as this bank has more ...
