Jim	Hi, Alice. How are you getting on?
Alice	Fine, as usual, thanks, Jim. What about you?
Jim	I'm OK. It's nice to see you.
Alice	You too. I'm glad you're not in a hurry and we have time to talk today.
Jim	Sure.
Alice	Can you give me a piece of advice?
Jim	Well, I'll try, if I can.
Alice	You know, I've been always good at cooking. It interests me. I am thinking of starting my own business – café.
Jim	It might be a good idea.
Alice	I guess I must learn about the responsibilities of going into business.
Jim	Are you going into business by yourself?
Alice	Exactly. I'd like to have a café with my name on it where I make the decisions and where I control the profits.
Jim	You seem to be resolute so I'll try to help you. If you go into business alone, it is called sole proprietorship. In such a case you needn't consult a lawyer to form a business. You can start or you can stop your business whenever you like.
Alice	It sounds encouraging. What else can you tell me?
Jim	There is no need to consult partners or a board of directors. So you can put your policies into effect quickly. You decide on your vacation, hours, salary, hiring and firing.
Alice	Well, that's not bad.
Jim	Wait a moment. I believe I have to tell you about the risk involved.
Alice	What do you mean?
Jim	First of all, the most important risk is that you have unlimited liability. It means that you are responsible for all your business debts.
Alice	So if the business fails, I have to declare personal bankruptcy, don't I?
Jim	That's what I mean. You can lose your personal assets.
Alice	Well, it's rather disappointing. What other things should I know?
Jim	You won't get tax benefits which the partnerships or corporations can get.
Alice	I know about it. By the way, do you know a good accountant to do my taxes?
Jim	Of course. You also have to hire a good bookkeeper if you can't do your books yourself.
Alice	I can't say anything definite about that. I have to think it over. What else, Jim?
Jim	Well, I'm a bit hungry. Why don't we have a snack together and discuss the things in the café.
Alice	You right as usual. Let's go.
