The different types of companies on the basis of liabilities of members:

In this company, the liability of the directors may be unlimited. A company limited by shares may be a public company or private company.

(3) Unlimited Liability Company: A company in which liability of members is unlimited as partners in the partnership firm, is called a company with unlimited liability In the event of insolvency of the company, creditors may recover their dues from the private property of the members/partners.
