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 to
share this liability.
