| 3. Mind that the words stocks and shares have certain similarities in meaning, but are not exactly the same.
Although these words are often used as synonyms there is a difference in meaning.
1. Stocks are similar to loans and pay interest. In the UK, they are known as debentures (if issued by companies) or gilts if issued by the government. The interest is usually at a fixed rate. They are a safe investment as companies are obliged to pay interest and repay the capital whether or not the firm is making a profit. However, the return on the investment is likely to be lower than on shares.
2. Shares pay dividends rather than interest and enable the bearer to own a part of the company. If a company goes bankrupt, the shareholders will only be repaid after all the other creditors. As the term equity can be defined as what remains when all other claims on a company’s assets have been met, stock and equity are interchangeable terms. There are many varieties of shares; these are some of the most important.
2.1. Ordinary shares give the bearer the right to vote, appoint and remove directors and the right to receive a dividend.
2.2. Preference shares give the holder the right to receive dividends before ordinary shareholders and priority if the company is liquidated. However, the dividend is fixed.
2.3. Cumulative preference shares entitle the bearer to be paid in arrears if a dividend is not paid in anyone year.
3. Stocks, shares and bonds are known collectively as securities.

Forms of Ownership
There are three major legal forms of ownership: sole proprietorship, the partnership and the limited company. It is important to note which form of ownership is involved because the different characteristics of each will have implications for the operation of the firm. The following section explains the various forms of ownership, their advantages and disadvantages.
Sole Proprietorship
A sole proprietorship is a business owned and usually operated by a single individual. Its major characteristic is that the owner and the business are one and the same. In other words, the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of the sole proprietorship are the revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities of the owner. A sole proprietorship is also referred to as the proprietorship, single proprietorship, individual proprietorship, and individual enterprise.
A sole proprietorship is the oldest and most common form of ownership. Some examples include small retail stores, doctors’ and lawyers’ practices and restaurants.
Advantages
A sole proprietorship is the easiest form of business to organize. The only legal requirements for starting such a business are a municipal licence to operate a business and a registration licence to ensure that two firms do not use the same name. The organization costs for these licences are minimal.
A sole proprietorship can be dissolved as easily as it can be started. A sole proprietorship can terminate on the death of the owner, when a creditor files for bankruptcy, or when the owner ceases doing business.
A sole proprietorship offers the owner freedom and flexibility in making decisions. Major policies can be changed according to the owner’s wishes because the firm does not operate under a rigid charter. Because there are no others to consult, the owner has absolute control over the use of the company’s resources.
Disadvantages
As mentioned earlier, the financial condition of the firm is the same as the financial condition of the owner. Because of this situation, the owner is legally liable for all debts of the company. If the assets of the firm cannot cover all the liabilities, the sole proprietor must pay these debts from his or her own pocket. Some proprietors try to protect themselves by selling assets such as their houses and automobiles to their spouses.
A sole proprietorship, dependent on its size and provision for succession, may have difficulty in obtaining capital because lenders are leery of giving money to only one person who is pledged to repay.
A proprietorship has a limited life, being terminated on the death, bankruptcy, insanity, imprisonment, retirement, or whim of the owner.
Partnerships
A partnership is an unincorporated enterprise owned by two or more individuals. A partnership agreement, oral or written, expresses the rights and obligations of each partner. For example, one partner may have the financial resources to start the business while the other partner may possess the management skills to operate the firm. There are three types of partnerships: general partnerships, limited partnerships, and joint ventures. The most common form is the general partnership, often used by lawyers, doctors, dentists, and chartered accountants.
Advantages
Partnerships, like sole proprietorships, are easy to start up. Registration details vary by province, but usually entail obtaining a license and registering the company name. Partners’ interests can be protected by formulation of an “Agreement of Partnership”. This agreement specifies all the details of the partnership.
Complementary management skills are a major advantage of partnerships. Consequently partnerships are stronger entity and can attract new employees more easily than proprietorships.
The stronger entity also makes it easier for partnerships to raise additional capital. Lenders are often more willing to advance money to partnerships because all of the partners are subject to unlimited financial liability.
Disadvantages
The major disadvantage of partnerships is that partners, like sole proprietors, are legally liable for all debts of the firm. In partnerships, the unlimited liability is both joint and personal. Partners are also legally responsible for actions of other partners. Partnerships are not as easy to dissolve as sole proprietorships.
Limited companies
Limited companies, unlike proprietorships or partnerships, are created by law and are separate from the people who own and manage them. Limited companies are also referred to as corporations. In limited companies, ownership is represented by shares of stock. The owners, at an annual meeting, elect a board of directors which has the responsibility of appointing company officers and setting the enterprise’s objectives.
Advantages
Limited companies are the least risky from an owner’s point of view. Shareholders of corporations can only lose the amount of money they have invested in company stock.
Corporations can raise larger amounts of capital than proprietorships or partnerships through the addition of new investors or through better borrowing power.
Limited companies do not end with the death of owners.
Disadvantages
It is more expensive and complicated to establish corporations than proprietorships or partnerships. A charter, which requires the services of a lawyer, must be obtained through provincial governments or the federal government. In addition to legal costs, a firm is charged incorporation fees for its charter by the authorizing government.
Limited companies are subject to federal and provincial income taxes. Dividends to shareholders are also taxed on an individual basis.
With diverse ownerships, corporations do not enjoy the secrecy that proprietorships and partnerships have. A company must send each shareholder an annual report detailing the financial condition of the firm.
