A business model basically describes the way a company makes money. Yet, often we use digital services for free (e.g. Facebook, Google or WhatsApp) or for what seems to be a relatively minor price (e.g. Blablacar, Airbnb, and Amazon). Digital business models are different to traditional business models. Digital Business Models explains the key challenges and characteristics of the various business models that are used by digital businesses. These companies can be a source of inspiration for traditional bricks-and-mortar companies that aim to go digital and/or revamp their traditional business model. Most businesses rely on some form of digital technology for their marketing communication, customer relationship management, supply chain or distribution, yet digital transformation entails a complete reassessment of the way value is created and captured.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Each of the Three Key Methods of Forming a Business
"There are three basic forms of business ownership: sole proprietorship, partnership and corporation. Each of these forms of business organization has advantages and disadvantages in such areas as setting up the company, paying taxes and assessing liability for business debts."
Advantages and Disadvantages of Owning a Small Business
" According to entrepreneur.com, the average salary of an entrepreneur (in 2020) is $55,000, and that’s based on working an average of 66 hours per week. That’s a decent salary in certain low-cost areas, but it would be a struggle to live on those dollars in much of the U.S. So, while money is a consideration, it may not be the primary reason for owning your own business."
Business Structures from the Internal Revenue Service
"When beginning a business, you must decide what form of business entity to establish. Your form of business determines which income tax return form you have to file. The most common forms of business are the sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, and S corporation. A limited liability company (LLC) is a business structure allowed by state statute.
