Disadvantages of Partnerships Unlimited Liability: Each partner is
fully responsible for the acts of all partners
Limited Partnership: The limited partner has limited liability Investor’s responsibility for the debts of the
business is limited by the size of their investment in the firm
If business fails with a large debt, the limited partner (investor) only loses their original investment, leaving the general partners to make up the rest

Disadvantages of Partnerships Limited Life: When a partner leaves or
dies, the partnership must be dissolved and reorganized. The new partner may try to keep an
agreement to keep its name Potential for Conflict: “Why can’t we
all just get along?”
