        2. MARKET
          1. A Market economy is one in which most businesses are privately owned; e.g. America is probably the closest (however it is becoming more of a mixed economy)

                    2. DISADVANTAGES
                      1. 1. Unlimited Liability 2. No continuity of existence. 3. Lack of specialisation 4. No one to share decision making with. 5. More difficult to compete with larger businesses (as they cannot take advantage of economies of scale). 6. Limited Finance - banks are less willing to lend them money as the business is small.
                        1. Unlimited Liability: If the owner doesn't have enough money in their business to pay their debts, they have to use their private money to meet them - potentially resulting in extreme consequences i.e. their house/car may have to be sold.

                        1. Profit and Expansion
