Answer

Fixed shops are of two types:
  1. Small Scale:
There are different types of small retailers which are explained as under:
  1. Street Stalls Holders: These retailers carry their business on a very small scale basis in busy and crowded streets by erecting permanent shops. They purchase goods in large quantities from the wholesalers and local suppliers for reselling to the ultimate consumers. They usually deal in household articles and products of daily need. These stall holders are usually the sole proprietors of their shops i.e. carrying every activity right from buying till final disbursement of goods to the consumers.
  2. Second Hand Goods Sellers: These dealers deal in second hand or used articles. They purchase these articles from public or private auctions and private households.

They manage the shops themselves and are most often assisted by sales assistants. Usually goods are sold on credit by these merchants to their permanent customers. They also provide free home delivery service and facility of exchange of rejected goods to the customers.

Aarti was born and brought up in Mumbai. After completing her higher studies, she started working as an assistant architect in a leading company. After a few years of that now she wants to set up her own consultancy and undertake independent projects. She discusses her plans with her father.
Her father suggests that she should carry on with the job because starting independently will mean becoming a sole proprietor and that would bring along problems of unlimited liability. But Aarti was not convinced to stay in the job.
Then he suggested that the second option for her could be to form a partnership or a Pvt. Ltd. Company, with a friend. But Aarti did not like this idea either, as she did not want any form of interference from anyone. Aarti approached a consultant and discussed her concerns with him.
