When they want to protect their personal property, they may want to try out a limited liability company. By making it a limited liability company, they may choose to become limited partners and not have their personal property at risk. However, they have to find other partners who are willing to participate in the business as general partners. It is only the general partners who will have their property at risk when the company closes down so they have to make sure to get general partners.
