A partnership is a business arrangement where two or more people share profits and losses according to an agreement. In California these arrangements can take several forms including general partnerships and more complex structures such as LPs and LLPs.
An LP includes both general partners who manage the business and liable for debts, and limited partners who contribute capital and usually have limited liability. LLPs provide liability protection for partners and flexible management.
A general partner has day to day management authority but assumes personal responsibility for partnership obligations. In many structures the GP guides strategy and bears risk.
