Limited Partnerships offer investors a passive role with limited liability, General Partners manage the entity and bear higher responsibility, while Limited Liability Partnerships provide liability protection with flexible management.
Choosing the right structure depends on your goals, funding needs, and how hands-on each partner will be.
An LP includes at least one General Partner and one or more Limited Partners; an LLP protects partners from the actions of others while allowing shared management; a General Partner runs the day-to-day operations and may have personal liability.
Key elements include forming the entity with state filings, drafting a comprehensive partnership or operating agreement, defining contributions, profit allocations, governance rules, and exit terms.
This glossary explains common terms used when discussing LPs, LLPs, and GP partnerships in California.
