CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
            Long ago, many committed Nigerians have engage them self in one or two business entity to enhance economic growth. They engage them self in various sector of the economy to earn a living.
            From past analysis and experience in this present economy has shown that many of these business organizations are not living up to expectation. In view of these it is hoped that a research analysis of the problems and prospect of business will be uncovered and causes of their poor performance. Orientation differs, ones the word ‘business” is pronounce, the message that rings in the mind of men especially in Nigeria is buying and selling of goods. But business is broader than that. Business can be defined as any activity one engage himself or herself with lawfully to earn a living, for the purpose of this research, I want to consider business as “every profit directed economic and commercial activities that provides goods and services necessary to a nation standard of living.
            Business ownership can be classified into two namely: public enterprise and private enterprise.
            Private enterprise comprises of sole proprietor ship, co-operative society partnership and limited company.             
            In this research we are going to concentrate mainly on issue concerning “partnership business”. According to Boron, Donan (1976) Partnership was defined as a business relationship between two or more persons who jointly own and manage a business. The maximum number is usually put at twenty people.
            People find it easier to engage in sole proprietor ship and others to avoid certain problems that may arise in partnership business such as
-          delay in decision making
-          crisis of confidence
-          chained activities of all new members to old ones.
1.2            STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
A larger proportion of the business entities in this country are faced with similar problems. These problems hinder the growth and development of partnership business in this country, thereby limiting their enormous contribution towards the nation economic development. Some of these problems are listed below.
Poor finding sources
lack of feasibility study
lack of lay down rules
inability to differentiate between personal and business affairs.
negligence on part of some partners.              
taking decision without comparative analysis and good understanding of national economic trend.  
lack of competitive awareness
lack of personal assessment on strength and weakness of the business.
PROBLEMS OF PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS
1) POOR FUNDING SOURCES: The major sources of partnership business fund is form the little savings of the owners and friend which is inadequate to service the capital out lay of the business hence they fail within the shorted period.
2) LACK FEASIBILITY STUDY: Handly business survives the test of time without feasibility study why because of the poor capital base and ignorance.
3) LACK OF LAY DOWN RULES: Most of the partnership businesses do not have any laid down rule that is guiding the business and most of the time terms of business are not defined which usually end up in quarreling and winding up.
4) INABILITY TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN BUSINESS AND PERSONAL AFFAIR:  This usually constitute a lot of problems in partnership in terms of management where some of the mix up will take the business property like a personal property.
5) NEGLIGENCE ON PART OF SOME PARTNERS: Most of the partners because of their numerous engagements easily show a non chalant attitude toward their defined responsibility.
6) TAKING DECISION WITHOUT COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF NATIONAL ECONOMIC TREND: This has made many investors to wind up in the sense that government decision stands final to every other decision that have been in existence.
7) LACK OF COMPETITIVE AWARENESS: Most partnership business in Nigeria does not take into account the possible reactions of competitors, such as serve price cuts or special discount to retailers.
8) LACK OF PERSONAL STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS ASSESSMENT IN BUSINESS: Many in partnership do not assess their weakness and strengths in business hence they experience failure.
            In summary many of the partnership business set up are without any formal training in this area, as result of this the business usually fold up after some time lack of technology and other operational problems confronting their growth. They like wise ignore the accounting procedure of the big business; hence they end up in having poor accounting records. Also on few occasion you can see a partnership business that carried out a feasibility study to know how possible and viable the proposed business would be before embarking on it.
