Entrepreneurship & Small Business: Checkpoint 1

Covers what entrepreneurship is, business plans, funding options, and business structures.

Five questions on the fundamentals of starting a business: the tradeoff, the plan, the funding, and the structure.

Question 1 of 5 The 'risk-reward tradeoff' in entrepreneurship is described as asymmetric because:

The downside is unlimited and the upside is fixed The downside is bounded by what's invested, while the upside isn't bounded the same way There is no real risk involved Rewards are guaranteed regardless of outcome

Question 2 of 5 'Unit economics' refers to:

The total revenue of a business in its first year The profit or loss on a single unit sold, after direct costs A business's tax bracket The number of employees per department

Question 3 of 5 Bootstrapping a business means:

Taking on an investor for equity financing Funding it from personal savings and early revenue, without outside loans or investors Applying for a government grant Merging with a larger company

Question 4 of 5 Equity financing differs from a loan mainly because it:

Requires no capital at all Involves selling a share of ownership instead of borrowing money that must be repaid Is only available to large corporations Guarantees the founder keeps full control

Question 5 of 5 The main advantage of an LLC over a sole proprietorship is that it generally:

Eliminates all taxes Separates the owner's personal assets from the business's debts and lawsuits Requires no registration Guarantees profitability
