Partnerships
Partnerships fall into two categories, general and limited.

General partnerships do not limit liability for any partner.

Limited partnerships limit liability for the limited partners but not for the general partner (the controlling or operating partner or partners). Lack of limited liability for all partners and owners is a major disadvantage of partnerships. In addition, limited partners have no vote or say in how the business is run. The LLC appears to be a better choice in all cases where a partnership might be considered.
