There are hidden laws at work in every aspect of your business. Understand them, and you can create extraordinary growth. Ignore them, and you run the risk of becoming another statistic. It's become almost cliche: 8 out of every 10 new ventures fail. Of the ones that succeed, how many truly thrive-for the long run? And of those that thrive, how many continually overcome their growth hurdles ... and ultimately scale, with meaning, purpose, and profitability? The answer, sadly, is not many. Author Lex Sisney is on a mission to change that picture. After more than a decade spent leading and coaching high-growth technology companies, Lex discovered that the companies that thrive do so in accordance with 6 Laws - universal principles that govern the success or failure of every individual, team, and organization.

Mintz and Schwartz offer a fascinating tour of the corporate world. Through an intensive study of interlocking corporate directorates, they show that for the first time in American history the loan making and stock purchasing and selling powers are concentrated in the same hands: the leadership of major financial firms. Their detailed descriptions of corporate case histories include the forced ouster of Howard Hughes from TWA in the late fifties as a result of lenders' pressure; the collapse of Chrysler in the late seventies owing to banks' refusal to provide further capital infusions; and the very different "rescues" of Pan American Airlines and Braniff Airlines by bank intervention in the seventies.

''The Law of Business Structures provides a comprehensive but simplified treatment of the different types of business structures in South African law. Partnerships, business trusts, close corporations and companies, whether large or small, whether profit-making or non-profit making, are discussed. This includes modern corporate governance best practices, and even an updated analysis of insider trading and market manipulation. The proposed new Companies Amendment Bill of 2021, which was published when this new edition was nearing completion, is also discussed wherever relevant. In the nine years since the publication of the first edition of The Law of Business Structures, there has been extensive judicial development of many provisions of the Companies Act 71 of 2008. This second edition has been updated to include a discussion and analysis of the leading cases on the subject. Much of the material on this subject, particularly company law, has been updated. The prime, original aim of keeping complex theoretical analysis and debate to a minimum has been retained. A highlight of this book is that legal doctrines and principles are expounded in a lucid and coherent way and stated, wherever possible, in simple terms."--Back cover

What form is best for your business? Should it be one of the corporate forms or one of those that is not a corporation? This text will give you the facts and the comparisons that will help you make that choice. It should at the very least, give you the basic information so you can understand the issues that affect that choice. In addition, this writing is intended to list the basic information about US business structures every attorney and CPA wishes his or her new client already understood when first seeking help turning a worthwhile business plan into a smooth running profit making machine. The table of contents lists the types of business legal structures available to the entrepreneur for doing business in the US. Note that business structures have either a ?corporate? and ?non-corporate? legal form. Take a ?quick look? at the comparison of business types appearing in Chapter 1: ?Business Entities Compared?. It is an easy to understand summary of the major considerations in choosing a form for a business. That page, for each type, lists the owner; personal liability; taxation and management features of each type. The later chapters of this writing discuss the details and the major issues that apply to each of business legal structure listed in that first chapter. All USA businesses are legal entities authorized defined, created, and registered according to the individual state laws of the state where the business is located. Although similar, there are important differences among the states. A great deal of ?shopping? for a favorable ?home? does in fact take place because of those differences. However, there is a requirement for all businesses to ?register? in any state where it has operations. That subject is the subject of Chapter 15: ?Doing Business in Other States?. The appendix provides links to all 50 state departments Involved in forming a business. It includes all state's secretary of state business records departments; state taxation departments; security departments; and corporate and business laws.
