Ease of Formation: “Compared to the other forms of ownership well discuss the paperwork and costs involved in forming a sole proprietorship are minimal no special forms must be filed, and no special fees must be paid.

The person I interviewed was Daniel J Cross, my father. He runs a sole proprietorship and restores antique cars. His business is very successful and has enough work for the next four years lined up. But the only reason that he was so successful is because his quality of work had been shared and he had created a reputation for his work. His success is thanks to the mesh or sharing of business and products.

The mesh is making a world economy smaller and making sole proprietorships much more profitable and abundant. With the help of the internet and how social today’s economic communities, the word of a smaller business doing more for less will thrive. Thanks to the recession people have become more open minded about the true value of a service making certain markets low hanging fruit for small businesses and the ease of formation for a sole owned business is appetizing. The platforms that a smaller business would have access to are much more efficient at sharing and also cost efficient as well. Mesh businesses have adapted the markets and platforms available.

Up until the introduction of the internet small businesses had to rely on word of mouth for all new customers for the exception of paying for advertisement. With the development and power of a computer partnered with the internet allows companies to spend their money on more accurate and precise advertising than ever before, when reaching the correct demography is so easy, new business is that easy to reach. Even word of mouth has evolved onto social media making one person have a louder voice than ever before. With user review forums like yelp that also allows more people to communicate how businesses treat their customers, sharing more information with one another than ever before. The social aspect to a mesh business should be the aspect of the business always should be changing and getting refined.

With an ever growing market the business must also have economic prowess to compete with every other small businesses. The upside to a smaller business is less overhead and less employees that need to be paid so they usually result a service being offered for prices half what a larger business could afford to do business at. This also allows for more specialized craftsmanship. More specialized workers honing in on untapped markets. This specialization also allows for a higher rate of retention of profit, making smaller businesses actually easier to run and manage. The more specialized a markets economy is the more efficient the society is thought to be, so mesh marketing is the next step to efficient and quality businesses and environment for the consumer.
