For which type of organization is unlimited liability likely to be the greater problem-proprietorships or partnerships? Why?

What will be an ideal response?


Unlimited liability probably poses more problems for partnerships because each partner is liable for debts incurred by the firm, even if those debts are incurred by the other partner. A proprietor knows all the debts he or she has taken on, but a partner could be in the dark on some occasions.
