• 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.

• Proprietorship. There is a single owner of the business, so the

owner is answerable to no other owner.

• 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.

to produce a benefit in the future.Owners’ (stockholders’) equity represents the insider claims of a business, the owners’ interest in its assets.Assets and owners’ equity differ in that assets are resources and owners’ equity is a claim to assets.Assets must be at least as large as owners’ equity, so equity can be smaller than assets.

• Both liabilities and owners’ (stockholders’) equity are claims to

assets.Liabilities are the outsider claims to the assets of a business; they are obligations to pay creditors.Owners’ equity represents the insider claims to the assets of the business; they are the owners’ interest in its assets.
