Dialogue 1

Jim: Hi, Alice. How are you getting on?

Alice: Fine, as usual, thanks, Jim. What about you?

Jim: I'm O.K. It's nice to see you.

Alice: You too. I'm glad you are not in a hurry and we have time to talk today.

Jim: Sure.

Alice: Can you give me a piece of advice?

Jim: Well, I'll try if I can.

Alice: You know I've been always good at cooking. It interests me. I am thinking of starting my own business - cafe.

Jim: It might be a good idea.

Alice: I guess I must learn about the responsibilities of going into business.

Jim: Are you going into this business by yourself?

Alice: Exactly. I'd like to have a cafe with my name on it where I make the decisions and where I control the profits.

Jim: You seem to be resolute so I'll try to help you. If you go into business alone, it is called sole proprietorship. In such case you needn't consult a lawyer to form the business. You can start or you can stop your business whenever you like.

Alice: It sounds encouraging. What else can you tell me?
Jim: There is no need to consult partners or a board of directors. So you can put your policies into effect quickly. You decide on your vacation, hours, salary, hiring and firing.

Alice: Well, that's not bad.

Jim: Wait a moment. I believe I have to tell you about the risk involved.

Alice: What do you mean?

Jim: First of all, the most important risk is that you have unlimited liability. It means that you are responsible for all your business debts.

Alice: So if the business fails, I have to declare personal bankruptcy, don't I?

Jim: That's what I mean. You can lose your personal assets.

Alice: Well, it's rather disappointing. What other things should I know?

Jim: You won't get tax benefits which partnerships or corporations can get.

Alice: I know about it. By the way do you know of a good accountant to do my taxes?

Jim: Of course. You'll also have to hire a good book-keeper if you can't do your books yourself.

Alice: I can't say anything definite about that. I have to think it over. What else, Jim?

Jim: Well, I am a bit hungry, why don't we have a snack together and discuss the things in the cafe.

Alice: You are right as usual. Let's go.
