[hhvolfan]

If the suit is against a corporation or llc, no individuals can be brought in. Only the corporation or llc itself is liable. There is an exception to that: when the owners of the business mix the business funds with their own or otherwise ignore the formalities of the business, then a creditor can “pierce the corporate vale,” and sue the individuals, but not their spouses.
