investments with bank loans & issuing shares or bonds.

business as a partnership & a corporation is the method of
taxation. In a partnership, only its partners are subject to
taxation, rather than the partnership itself. Therefore, only the
income earned by a partner is taxable. The income of a corporation
is taxed twice - first, at the level of the company as a payer of
corporate income tax, & second, at the level of a shareholder
receiving dividend. Cost & formalities involved in conducting
business activityIn corporations & in limited joint-stock
partnerships, the partners must contribute the share capital (in a
