Discuss what form of ownership would you choose (Sole Proprietorship, Partnership or Corporation; see p.115).  What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of ownership structure?  What category would this business fall into, and why (Small business, franchise, general and limited partnerships, S Corporations, LLC, etc.)?
