This entity is allowed to offer its shares to the general public and raise financing in this way. Shareholders of such an entity don\u2019t bear any liability in excess of their contributions (value of shares subscribed). This form requires compliance with certain strict but not bureaucratized requirements to maintenance and reporting.<\/li>\n<li><b><i>General Partnership<\/i><\/b> \u2013 a form of doing business that unites two or more partners who jointly conduct business and bear liability for the results of its operation.
