Unlimited liability

Personal responsibility for all business debts (sole traders, partnerships).

Unlimited liability means business owners are personally responsible for all business debts — their personal assets (house, savings) can be claimed by creditors. Applies to sole traders and (general) partnerships. Limited companies and LLPs limit liability to invested capital.
