Natural Resource Renting As an Important Role of Business in Economic Development

A business is defined generally as an unincorporated commercial entity or corporation that engages in commercial, industrial, or even professional activities for the benefit of its owners. Most businesses are for-profit enterprises or organizations that perform social good or a noble cause to further social causes or meet a charitable objective. However, some businesses are sole proprietorships, partnerships, franchises, and others that fall in any of these categories.

One of the most popular forms of business today is information technology or IT. In this technological revolution, information moves at the speed of light through networks and servers. IT personnel are integral members of the business community and are responsible for the design, development, operation, and management of computer systems, networks, hardware, software, backup and storage devices, telecommunications equipment and other computer related facilities. They are also involved in the creation and maintenance of documentation and reporting standards, protection of intellectual property, and security systems used to protect data and communications from unauthorized access by third parties. They provide network management services, design and develop networking solutions and oversee implementation of those solutions.

Another major segment of the commercial law realm is transactional law. These businesses provide services to customers either on a one-to-one basis or via a business and corporate entity. Some common transactional activities include purchasing, selling, buying and merchandising, buying and holding, creditor and debtor relationships, and international commerce among others. In order for these businesses to succeed, they must choose both the legal structure for their transaction agreements and the commercial law courts that will enforce these agreements once reached.

The other type of business that falls into the realm of commercial law is the general partnership. A general partnership is considered a business even though there may only be one or few partners. Generally, the partners participate in the business in common as well as in their individual capacities. Partnerships may also exist between different types of entities such as limited liability partnerships, public limited liability partnerships, and corporation and limited liability company types.

How does a general partnership affect the different rules and regulations concerning the different business entities? The partnership is considered a partnership for tax purposes if the partners own the partnership. However, in order for the partnership to be considered as a principal corporation, it must have one primary entity. Furthermore, the partnership must have a shareholders’ meeting, the failure of which would cause all but the partner’s shares to be forfeited. If all shareholders do not agree on the way the partnership should be conducted or how the funds will be used, then the partnership can be deemed to be illegal and void.

One of the most unique aspects of for-profit and non-for-profit businesses is their status as S corporations. An S corporation is a corporation that can only do business in a specific state. It is different from a sole proprietorship in that it allows unlimited partners to participate in the business without being taxed as an individual. Because of this, many companies incorporate in the states they are established in and only pay taxes on the income they receive within the state. However, many S corporations are run from country addresses and have quarterly filing expenses in other states, which have no income tax.

Another important function of a business is its role as a producer of goods and services. This process involves creating new goods and services, providing existing goods and services, and obtaining necessary resources to produce these goods and services. In addition, it involves the exchange of currency for a specific quantity of goods and services. This process involves three distinct steps: first, converting currency into goods and services, second, selling those goods and services, and third, remitting payments to customers who have purchased the commodities. All of these processes are crucial to the operation of a business.

All economic development depends upon the ability of a business to convert currency into goods and services, produce goods and services, and sell those goods and services. A business that fails to do so leaves itself vulnerable to competitor attacks, which can reduce its ability to compete with other businesses and lead to the eventual failure of the economy as a whole. The operation of the free market – with its inherent spontaneous order – provides the guarantee of protection from assault from external sources. This protection, in turn, ensures that economic development continues at an ever-increasing rate, benefiting all participants in the economic system.
