Tesco Homeplus
Tesco Homeplus is not Tesco's first non-food only venture in the UK. Until the late 1990s/early 2000s there were several non-food Tesco stores around the country including Scarborough and Yate. Although not in a warehouse style format, the stores were located on high streets and shopping centers, they stock similar items to Homeplus stores. In both cases this was because in another part of the shopping centre was a Tesco Superstore which stocked food items only.

Charity organisation in England and Wales is a particular type of voluntary organisation. A voluntary organisation is an organisation set up for charitable, social or other purposes. It is required to use any profit or surplus only for the organisation purpose and it’s not a type of any government organisation or other organisations. For a charitable organisation to be charitable there purpose must be charitable. All the purpose of the organisation must be charitable. A charity must also provide a public
benefit. In 2008 there are three types of legal structure for a charity in England and Wales.
- Unincorporated association
- Trust
- Company limited by guarantee
Partnership: A partnership comprised:
- 2-20 owners
- Usually found in professions
- More capital (money)
- Different and more ideas
- Deed of Partnership

- Unlimited liability generally
That means a Partnership can be formed by minimum 2 owners and maximum of 20 owners. The advantage of a Partnership is that they will have more capital, unlimited liability and more different ideas. But the disadvantage of a partnership is maybe disagreements between the owners and the partners are fully liable for the debts.
