In some types of partnerships, partners are divided into two classes. These include general partners and limited partners.

General partners generally run the partnership and are personally liable for many of the businesses debts. Limited partners, on the other hand, are typically not personally liable for the businesses debts. 

However, limited partners typically cannot actively particiapte in the business. This means that limited partners cannot make decisions that affect the everyday operation of the business.
