Register Partnership Firm in India

What is Partnership?

Let's understand first what a partnership firm is? A partnership firm is a type of business where at least two individuals share ownership of the business. In this type of partnership, the partners share responsibility for managing the company and the revenue the business generates.

If we talk about the types of partnerships, there are three types of partnerships you can consider when you register a partnership firm:

General Partnership

A general partnership is an arrangement by which two or more persons agree to share in all assets, financial and profits and legal liabilities of a business.

Limited Partnership

In the limited partnership arrangement, the liability is limited to the total amount of their capital investment in the company. Limited Partners are also known as silent partners. In other words, they can make investments in the company but have no power to vote or control over business day to day operations.

Advantages of a limited partnership include:

Joint Venture

A joint venture partnership is a temporary partnership that two companies agree to gain mutual benefits by sharing costs, risks, and rewards.
