A proprietorship is a business owned by one person.

 

Two or more people who join together to form a business make up a partnership. This can be done on an informal basis without a written partnership agreement, or a contract can spell out the rights and responsibilities of each partner.

 

A limited liability company is a hybrid between a partnership and a corporation.  Profits and losses pass through to the members.  Members generally enjoy limited liability.

 

 

Corporations are legal entities separate from their owners. To form a corporation, the owners specify the governing rules for the running of the business in a contract known as the articles of incorporation. They submit the articles to the government of the state in which the corporation is formed, and the state issues a charter that creates the separate legal entity.
