You are an owner of a small food market and provide a check-cashing service to your customers. One of your customers, Jack, cashed a check at the store for $200. You make a daily deposit of checks and cash to your bank, and in the process properly indorsed Jack’s check and included it in your deposit.

The check then went into the clearing process and was presented for payment at Jack’s bank, Third State. Unfortunately, Jack had insufficient funds in his bank account and the check was dishonored and stamped as not paid due to insufficient funds. It was then sent back to your bank, First State, who deducted the $200 from your bank account and sent the dishonored check to you.

B. Who has/had secondary liability and when does it come into play? (Note: There were two parties who become secondarily liable as the check moved through the system.)

 for the investors which form of organization (from the list of six under the first bullet) would be the least suited and why?

Business Forms and Governance

The legal form an entity or individual takes is a decision that must be considered from a risk and liability perspective, not simply one of ease of formation or cost. Form can impact the entities ability to grow and, in some circumstances, its ability to survive. As you consider this reality and approach this assignment, consider not only the form the business takes but also the way it will be governed. Remember the law requires business leaders conduct their business ethically and within the boundaries of the law.
