GROUP RESEARCH
Instructions:
1. Together with your groupmates, make a list of registered businesses in your community or locality
and classify them as to their Type of Organization (Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Corporation and
Cooperative).
2. Classify them further as to the nature of business they are engaged in (Service, Manufacturing,
Merchandising, etc.)
3. What nature of business incurred the most? Why do you think it’s the most in the
community?
4. After classifying, what type of organization incurred the most? Why do you think it’s the
most used nature of business in the community?
Based on our survey, there are 57 sole proprietorship type of businesses in the
community. This is the most used type of business because it is simple yet with several
advantages. Sole proprietorship has easy and inexpensive process, few government
regulations, and tax advantages. Hence, in our community sole proprietors are continuously
increasing in numbers because of its ease of formation. It does not require a lot of paper
works and there are less registration fees in the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
Moreover, our community has low population density since we are in a rural area hence big
corporate companies do not operate in our area. Lastly, most of the residents are doing
business because of their interest and the hope to provide their family’s daily necessity. Most
of them lack knowledge about forming business like partnerships and corporation since it is
more complicated than sole proprietorship. They need more guidance from the experts. Thus,
seminars and symposium about building a business would be of great help to them.
