In order to reclaim that debt a creditor (someone your business owes money to) can claim your personal possessions (including your dog and your shoes). This is called unlimited liability!

Unlimited and limited liability unlimited business owners risk losing all personal assets if the venture fails Owner and business DO NOT have a separate legal identity owners have unlimited liability limited business owners are only liable to lose their original investment if the business fails/ becomes insolvent Owners and business have a separate legal identity shareholders have limited liability
