There are several ways you can structure your business. If you have shareholders and a high risk factor, a corporation might be your best choice since shareholders cannot lose their personal assets even when they lose the funds they invest. Partnerships are perhaps the riskiest structures you can choose. In a general partnership, each partner assumes liability for the company’s debts and the other partner’s actions. In a limited partnership, though, the limited partners are not liable for the company’s debts. However, this structure requires that one of the partners remains liable for the partnership’s debts. Don’t start your business without knowing what option suits your business model best.
