Ahmad and his friend, A.G. Pennypacker, have come up with a great idea: they have
developed a fluor elastomer liner (a rubber lining) for oil tankers. With this
innovation, they believe they can eliminate most oil spills that result from tanker
accidents. The liner is highly resistant to fluctuations in temperature as well as
physical punctures.
Ahmad wants to set up a company, but is unsure of his options and has come to you
for advice for the type of business entity formation he should select. He has the
following concerns:
1. He does not want his other business concerns being held liable should there be
