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