MCGEE CAKE COMPANY
Introduction The McGee Cake Company has been in business since early 2005. The company is a sole proprietorship. They produce a variety of full line cakes and other cake including cheesecake, lemon pound cake, and double-iced, double-chocolate cake. In the past several years, the company has experienced sales increases due to features in magazines and this led to the company receiving orders from all over the world. Doc and Lyn McGee both had regular jobs and formed the company mainly due to outside interest. However, with the increase in sales and demand for their product worldwide they both quite their regular jobs and hired additional staff to handle the influx of the recent demands. The company still faced issues with cash flow and capacity and the company continued to produce as many product as its assets would allow. The demand for the goods and services have become to great for their current infrastructure and the company is looking for business options (Ross, Westerfield, & Jordan, 2013). As mentioned previously, the company is currently operating as a sole proprietorship. According to our text, a sole proprietorship is a business owned by one person and it’s the simplest business to start and it the least regulated form of organization. The McGee’s keep all the profits in this type of business. However, the owner has unlimited liability which means creditors can look beyond business assets to personal assets for payment of debts. Sole proprietorship are limited to the owner’s life span which means which in the end hampers the business able to exploit new opportunities (Ross, Westerfield, & Jordan, 2013, p. 14). A limited liability corporation (LLC) operates and is taxed like a partnership but retain the limited liability for owners, basically making it a hybrid of a partnership and corporation. The Internal Revenue Service maintains oversight of LLC operations and if a business does not meet certain criteria it will be faced with double taxation

    Love Eco Swot Analysis Paper

    Being a LLC combines the corporate advantages of limited liability with the tax advantages inherent in partnerships. We decided to choose this structure because of its many benefits and flexibility that suit a start-up business. We are starting as a small business; hence our company is not big enough to run as a fully functional corporation, such as a b-corp. Although five of us are just undergraduates and we lead a small business in the first place, we prefer to form a professional company that can separate ourselves from partner liability but still get the other benefits of a partnership.…

    Limited Liability Corporation and Partnership

    In the United States, limited liability companies increased rapidly throughout the past 10 years. These structures permit businesses to decrease federal tax liabilities by federal pass-through provisions (Bean & Bilyeu, 1997). Limited liability can apply to any non-corporate business, in any state, and provides characteristics of a corporation and a partnership. Individual states regulate the operations of the LLCs. However, companies with limited liability are different and distinct from a sole proprietorship, partnership, and corporation. The purpose of the subject is to explain the roles of limited liability corporations (LLC) and partnerships (LLP), and discuss under what circumstances one would choose to use an LLC or LLP to establish his or her own business.…

    Limited Liability Company

    Limited Liability Company

    Limited Liability Company (LLC) is often considered as the hybrids of general partnership and corporation. It often referred as a general partnership where the partners have no personal liability and a limited partnership where there is no general partner or a partnership surrounded by a corporate shell (Seipel, Tunnell & Zimmermann, 1995). The LLC is first adopted in Wyoming in 1977 and then in Florida in 1982. However, LLCs weren’t popular entities in the beginning due to its hybrid nature that IRS had yet to decide how it was going to be taxed. Finally, in 1988, Revenue Ruling 88-76 was issued. IRS confirmed that LLCs would be taxed as partnership. In the following years after the adoption of the public ruling, the explosion of LLC laws started across the nation. States began to form their own version of LLC laws, and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws also issued a Uniform Limited Liability Company Act. With the development of the legislature, the public became to have a better understanding of the LLC’s organization and tax structure and began to form more of them. In addition, the 1997 release of “check-the-box” regulations that simplify the tax filing process of LLCs further boosted its popularity (Bishop & Keatinge, 2009). At the same time, as LLCs were more commonly used in different states and industries, case law built up, which provided public a more solid idea of LLC’s legal limitations. Now, after three decades since its formation, LLC has become one of the most favorable entity types.…
