In a corporation, the shareholders are generally not personally responsible for the corporation's debts; their liability is typically limited to the amount they invested in shares. This means that if the corporation faces financial difficulties or bankruptcy, shareholders can lose their investment but are not liable for the corporation's debts beyond that. However, directors and officers may face personal liability if they engage in wrongful acts, such as fraud or negligence, that affect the company’s financial obligations.

A partnership is a legal term to define a joint venture of 2 or more persons. In a partnership all of the partners are jointly and severally liable for any losses. In this type of arrangement each partner can be forced to pay for all of any debts. They would then have the option of going after the other partners for their pro-rata share of the debt. In a limited partnership the only entity liable for the debts is the "general partner". The general partner can be either a person or another partnership or corporation. In a corporation the corporation is the only entity liable for debts. The owners are not liable. The corporation is a fictional "person" in the eyes of the law.
