What is the primary difference between a South Dakota Limited Liability Company (LLC) and a South Dakota Partnership?

The primary difference between a South Dakota Limited Liability Company (LLC) and a South Dakota Partnership is that the LLC owners are not personally liable for the company's debts and liabilities. In other words, any creditors of the LLC usually cannot go after the owners' personal assets to pay off LLC debts. However, partners do not usually receive this limited liability protection.
