Answer: These individuals must enter into a limited partnership.
When a partnership has at least one General Partner and one Limited Partner, the partnership is called a limited partnership.
The general partners bear all the risk of the partnership and are jointly and severally liable for the debts of the partnership.
The limited partner contributes funds, but in not involved in the management of the partnership.
As a result he is not personally liable for the debts of the partnership.
However, he is entitled to a dividend by virtue of his investment. The nature of this dividend is defined and the terms are spelled out clearly in the partnership agreement.
