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