The purpose of this assignment is to understand the range of different businesses and their ownership. I chose Sainsbury’s and Oxfam as they are businesses with different characteristics from each other, as I needed to choose one big company (such as PLC (public limited company) or LTD (private limited company)) and a small business (such as partnership, sole trader, non-for-profit business). In fact, Sainsbury’s is a supermarket and Oxfam a charity. This assignment will cover the purpose and ownership of the two businesses, the stakeholders of each business and how they affect the business.
Provide an overview consisting of a brief description of the chosen company, your chosen product or service, and annual sales.
There are several different types of business ownership which are most commonly used in business’ and company’s today, these include; Co-operative which is a business owned by its employees, Partnership which is a business owned by between 2 and 20 people, Private limited which is a business owner by a small groups of people who have shares and a Public limited business is owned by private individuals by shares bought and sold on the stock market. A charity is a business with the purpose to help the public, the government is a business owned by the government and lastly a sole trader which is a business owned by only one person.
For this assessment I am going to write a report about two businesses. A large national business, and a small local business. My large business is Manchester Airport because it is a large corporation and is very easy to research about. School has also organised a trip for us to go and visit Manchester Airport where we will be able to ask questions about the business. My small business is Coca-Cola shop (corner shop) because I’ve been going there for years, due to this fact I have become fairly good friends with the business owner. This will allow me to go to his shop and ask him the questions without being nervous. I will then describe and compare the purpose aims and objectives of the two businesses. I will also look into what activities they do as a business, and who their competitors are.

As a business decision maker it is vital to evaluate your research resources. There are many resources available ranging from free resources to paid subscription resources, research libraries available in certain locations only, blogs, and business publications. Another alternative would be to research the company on its own website. While doing the research the researcher must be aware of the validity and unbiased research available. Free resources are a general starting point in research.
