1. Introduction Accounting and business management play a very significant part in the process of ensuring a steady flow of work in the workplace. This is an extremely crucial duty. The work includes explanations of the various concepts that are associated with the various kinds of businesses, such as sole proprietorship and partnership. There is a case scenario that has been presented, and within it is a description of a person named Errol Anderson who is interested in beginning a new business that specialises in the upkeep and repair of automobiles. According to the case situation, the individual is now uncertain about the kind of business that he ought to launch, and as a result, both the pros and the drawbacks of the two distinct kinds of businesses have been examined in the job. In addition to these particulars, a journal account and a trial balance account have been crafted, and after that, the advantages and disadvantages of the trial balance account have been identified. 2. Part A Sole Traders Business When one individual is responsible for all aspects of a company's operations, that person is known as a lone trader. This is a kind of firm ownership in which all of the duties and responsibilities typically shared between partners are taken on by a single individual. The following is a brief summary of the many benefits of operating as a sole proprietorship. One of the main selling points of a single proprietorship is its low startup costs compared to corporations. Similar to how filing taxes for a single proprietorship is quite easy, opening a bank account for a sole proprietorship is likewise straightforward. The owner can utilise his or her own checking account for business purposes, which can be convenient for a number of reasons (Rosa and Scott, 2019). A sole proprietorship's organisational structure is straightforward. There is just one person responsible for running the company and making all the necessary choices. Disadvantages Among the many drawbacks of this corporate model is the potential for endless financial responsibility. The business' assets and the owner's individual assets are both at risk because of this liability. When there is just one individual responsible for all of the financial investments that go into beginning a firm, it can be difficult to get the necessary startup cash. It can also be difficult for a single owner to keep a close eye on the company's finances and bookkeeping. 3

Partnership Business A partnership business is one in which two or more people work together to create and run a firm (Reuschke et al. 2019). Advantages Business partners from different backgrounds contribute different expertise and knowledge to the company, allowing it to grow effectively. As compared with sole proprietorships, this type of business has fewer obligations. There are different partners associated with the business who share the profits generated by the firm. As a result, the system becomes more advanced and the level of service provided to the customers is higher. Disadvantages If the work that the partnership does is less transparent, it may have difficulty raising capital for its operations. Partnership companies require very complex decision-making due to the multiple partners involved, so this can take a long time (Haltiwanger, 2022). Business partners may miscommunicate between themselves, which can impede its smooth process in the marketplace. Steps of Starting a business Starting a business in an online marketplace involves following the following five steps. Determination of a goal An individual who wants to start a business needs to determine a goal, which is the first step to getting started. Taking help from the experts Ritter and Pedersen, 2020, describe this second stage of the process as one in which expert help is vital (Ritter and Pedersen, 2020). When someone consults with a business expert, they can gain a better understanding of how to start a business effectively. Secure financing Thirdly, the owner needs sufficient capital to start the business (Tornikoski and Maalaoui, 2019). 4
Maintaining a positive attitude In order to implement all the strategies and plants effectively, it's important to maintain a positive attitude at all times. By knowing what is happening in the market today, the owner has a better understanding of what is on the horizon. Implementation strategies To achieve the goals that have been defined, the plans developed throughout the business development process must be implemented appropriately. 3. Part B Journals Entries Table 1: Journal Account Trial Balance 5
Table 2: Trial Balance Benefits and Limitations of Trial Balance Benefits In order to produce a balance sheet, profit and loss accounts, and trading accounts, trial balances are required (McCradden et al., 2020). Accounting errors can be identified using this method. In addition, it provides a complete summary of each of the accounts in a ledger account and summarizes the reports for each of them. Limitations The presence of omission errors can also be observed when the credit and debit columns in such accounts are equal, which is a sign of an error in the trial balance. (Huang and Vasarhelyi, 2019): Calculating the total trial balance will not reveal an error that occurred at the start of the calculation. Occasionally, the table contains an access amount of debit, in which case an access amount of credit is inserted to compensate. 4. Conclusion 6

According to the analysis performed in the concerned work, both sole proprietorships and partnerships have their own advantage and disadvantages that need to be considered. The preferences of a person are purely a function of the type of business they are interested in starting, and not of their personal preferences. The given information suggests that Errol Anderson may want to consider starting a sole proprietorship business. This is a very simple form of business structure to run, as it allows him to do various operations without having to seek the assistance of anyone else. 7
