No, not if they are under 18. A minor can not sign a contract so they would not be liable for a business.

The liability of a minor partner depends on the specific terms of the partnership agreement. Generally, a minor partner is liable for their share of the partnership's losses up to the amount of their capital contribution. However, if the partnership agreement holds the minor partner as fully liable, they may be responsible for the entire loss of business.
