a. Corporation, | limited | partners | of | a | Limited-liability
partnership (LLP) and Limited-liability company (LLC). If any of
| | | | | | | | | | |
| these businesses fails and cannot pay its liabilities, creditors
| | | | | | | |
| cannot force the owners to pay the business’s debts from the
| | | | | | | | | |
| owners’ personal assets. Creditors can go after the general
| | | | | | | |
| partner of a limited liability partnership.
| | | | |
b. Proprietorship. There is a single owner of the business, so the | | | | | | | | | |
owner is answerable to no other owner.
| | | | | | |
c. Partnership. If the partnership fails and cannot pay its | | | | | | | |
| liabilities, creditors can force the partners to pay the business’s
| | | | | | | | |
| debts | from | their | personal | assets. | A partnership affords
| |
| more protection for creditors than a proprietorship because
| | | | | | |
| there are two or more owners toshare this liability.
