Partners in a general partnership share equally in both responsibility and liability. Many of the same kinds of businesses that operate as sole proprietorships could operate as general partnerships.

How do general partnership limited partnership and limited liability partnership differ?

All of the partners in a general partnership are fully liable for all debts and obligations of the partnership. In a limited partnership, there is always one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. The general partner(s) in a limited partnership, like the partners in a general partnership, are fully liable for all debts and obligations of the partnership. The limited partners, on the other hand, are not liable for any debts or obligations of the partnership beyond the amount that they have contributed or committed to contribute to the partnership. In other words, limited partners can lose their entire investment in the partnership but a creditor of the partnership cannot go after the other assets of the limited partners. A limited liability partnership (LLP) is created by state statute, as is the limited partnership, but compared to the limited partnership statutes, there is much more variation in LLPs from state to state. That makes any general description potentially wrong, based on the law of the specific state in which the LLP is operating. Generally, all or some of the partners in an LLP have some degree of limited liability protection. The partners usually have to be members of a licensed profession such as CPAs, attorneys or engineers.
