Client 1: The form of business organization I would recommend for client 1 is a partnership with his brother. I say this would be a good partnership for this business because both skills of the owner and the brother can make the business very successful.

A disadvantage with working with his brother is that there may be personal problems and emotions involved. This can be resolved by making a contract and by making certain rules such as “to keep thing professional when talking about the business, no emotions involved.”
