A partnership blends resources and risk through defined roles and agreed terms. It is important to document ownership and governance to guide decision making.
A partnership is suitable for, among others, professional collaborations and small to mid-size ventures where partners want control together. Partners should align on goals and management structure.
LPs provide limited liability for passive investors, LLPs offer liability protection for all partners, and GPs manage the business and assume obligations.
Funding often combines cash contributions, in-kind assets, and agreed-upon profit share and capital calls, with documents outlining terms.
A partnership agreement records ownership, contributions, distributions, decision rights, and dispute resolution procedures.
Partners owe duties of loyalty and care, and may have duties to the partnership and each other as defined in the agreement.
Profits and losses are shared as set out in the partnership agreement, subject to tax treatment and allocations.
Dissolution involves winding up assets, paying creditors, and distributing remaining assets per the agreement.
Liability protections help shield personal assets from certain partnership obligations, depending on structure and compliance.
