- In a limited partnership, there is indeed at least one general partner responsible for managing the business.
- In a limited liability partnership (LLP), all partners have limited liabilities.
- There are typically considered to be three main types of partnerships: general partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships.
