SOLE TRADERS
it is owned and controlled by one person responsible of his/her own debts and profits and can take decisions quickly; so it's the simplest and most common type of B.O.

PARTNERSHIPS
it is a business agreement between 2 or 20 people, called partners, to own and run a business together, they contribute to the initial capital and share managing responsibilities such as profits and losses
UNLIMITED
all partners take an active role in the managment of the B. and are liable for the company's debts, they can also lose personal assets if the B. goes bankrupt
LIMITED
some partners only contribute capital and don't take part in the managment of the B. because they are liable only for the amount of money they invested in the beginning

at least one partner must have unlimited liability, so he/she is responsible for the company's debts
