1. Sole Proprietorship:
The characteristics of this retail format are:
It’s easy to form, less expensive to organize and the
proprietors have full control
The income generated reaches the proprietor and he can
make the ultimate decision to keep it or reinvest in business
The business is easy to dissolve, if desired
Their business and personal assets are at risk; due to
unlimited liability, they are also legally responsible for all
the debts.
Often limited to using funds from personal savings or
consumer loans, and
May have a hard time attracting high-caliber employees
The characteristics of this retail format are
Partnerships are relatively easy to establish and with
more than one owner, the ability to raise funds may be
increased.
Prospective employees may be attracted to the
business if given the incentive to become a partner and
the business usually will benefit from partners who
have complementary skills.
Partners are jointly and individually liable for the
actions of the other partners.
Since decisions and profits are shared, disagreements
can occur.
A joint venture is not well defined in the law.
Unless incorporated or established as a firm as evidenced by
a deed, joint ventures may be taxed like association of persons,
sometimes at maximum marginal rates.
It acts like a general partnership, but is clearly for a limited
period of time or a single project.
LLC’s must not have more than two of the four characteristics
that define corporations i.e.
Limited liability to the extent of assets; continuity of
life; centralization of management; and free
transferability of ownership interests.
It is designed to provide the limited liability features of a
corporation, tax efficiencies and operational flexibility of a
partnership. Yet formation is more complex and formal than
that of a general partnership.
1. Independent Trader:
 Generally operates one outlet and offers personalized
service, a convenient location and close customer contact.
 Roughly 98% of all the retail businesses in India, are
managed and run by independents, including barber shops,
dry cleaners, furniture stores,bookshops,LPG Gas Agencies
and neighborhood stores.
 This is due to the fact that into retailing is easy and it
requires low investment and little technical knowledge.
This obviously results in a high degree of competition..
 Most independent retailers fail because of the ease of
entry, poor management skills and inadequate resources.
It involves common ownership of multiple units. In such
units, the purchasing and decision making are centralized. It
includes specialization, standardization and elaborate control-
systems.
 Chain stores have been successful, mainly because they have
the opportunity to take advantage of “economies of scale” in
buying and selling goods.
 Examples : Shoppers stop; West side and IOC, convenience
stores at select petrol filling stations.
2. Multiple Or Chain Store
Is a contractual arrangement between a “franchiser”
and a “franchisee”.
 It is a certain form of business under an established
name and according to a specific set of rules.
 In exchange for fees, royalties and a share of the
profits, the franchiser offers assistance and very often
supplies as well.
 Examples; McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Nirulas.
A retail cooperative is a group of independent
retailers, that have combined their financial resources
and their expertise in order to effectively control their
wholesaling needs.
 They share purchases, storage, shopping facilities,
advertising planning and other functions. .
 Example : Amul
It refers to department in a retail store that are rented
to an outside party.
Usually this is done in case of department and
speciality stores and also at times, in discount stores.
The proprietor of a leased department is usually
responsible for all aspects of its business and normally
pays the store a percentage of sales as rent.
Example : store beauty salon,banks,watch repair
Differentiate themselves on the basis of the range and variety
of Merchandise they maintain in their store.

mix
