Am I Responsible For the Debt of My Business?
If your business is incorporated, you may still have personal obligations for certain debts; debt that you personally guaranteed, director liabilities, unpaid wages. If you operate your business as a sole proprietor, you are personally responsible for all the debts of that business. If you are a partner in a partnership, you and your business partner are jointly liable for all the debts of the partnership, not just your own portion.
