Liabilities are claims on assets by people or businesses outside the company.
Examples include notes payable (money borrowed from a bank which must be repaid, usually with interest), interest payable (what has not yet been paid), accounts payable (owed to suppliers because the company bought inventory or other items and charged their purchase), and salaries payable.
If the company receives payment for a product or service before it has provided the product or service—such as a magazine subscription—it would have a liability called Unearned Revenue.
Another word for liabilities is debt.
Liabilities can also be divided into current and long-term.
Debt to be paid within a year is a current liability; if it is to be paid in more than a year, it’s long-term.
