Partnerships provide flexible ownership and shared management for a range of ventures.
We explain the differences among LP, LLP, and GP, including liability, control, and filing considerations under California law.
A partnership is a business arrangement in which two or more people share profits, losses, and management responsibilities. LP, LLP, and GP each have unique features that affect liability, control, and taxation.
Key elements include formation documents, partnership agreements, capital contributions, distributions, dispute resolution, and ongoing governance. We guide you through each step.
Common terms you may encounter include limited partnership, general partner, limited partner, capital account, and articles of partnership.
A partnership with one or more general partners who manage the business and have unlimited liability, and one or more limited partners who contribute capital and have liability limited to their investment.
A partner responsible for day-to-day management and bearing full personal liability, typically with authority to bind the partnership.
An investor who contributes capital and enjoys limited liability, typically not involved in daily management.
A partnership where partners are protected from personal liability for certain debts and obligations, while still sharing profits and management responsibilities.
