A partnership is a relationship between two or more people or entities who share profits, losses, and management duties under an agreed framework. In LP/LLP/GP structures, roles and liability limits are defined in the partnership agreement.
Key steps include choosing a structure, drafting a comprehensive partnership agreement, determining capital contributions, allocating profits and losses, appointing managing partners, and outlining dispute resolution and exit strategies.
This glossary clarifies common terms used in partnership transactions to help you navigate negotiations and governance.
An LP consists of at least one general partner who manages the business and bears unlimited liability, and limited partners who contribute capital and have liability limited to their investment.
A GP oversees daily operations and assumes responsibility for partnership obligations, subject to the terms of the partnership agreement.
An LP contributes capital and typically has limited involvement in management, with liability limited to the amount invested.
