a. Corporation, limited partners of a Limited- i i i i i
i liabilitypartnership (LLP) and Limited- i i i
liability company (LLC). If any of these businesses fails and cann ot
i i i i i i i i i i i
i pay its liabilities, creditors cannot force the owners to pay th e
i i i i i i i i i i i
i business’s debts from the owners’ personal assets. Creditors c an
i i i i i i i i i
i go after the general partner of a limited liability partnership.
i i i i i i i i i
b. Proprietorship. There is a single owner of the business,so the o i i i i i i i i i i
i wner is answerable to no other owner.

c. Partnership. If the partnership fails and cannot pay its liabilities i i i i i i i i i
, creditors can force the partners to pay the business’s debts fr

i om their personal assets. Apartnership affords more protecti
i i i i i i i
i on for creditors than a proprietorship because there are two or
i i i i i i i i i i
i more owners toshare this liability.
