A partnership is a business arrangement where two or more people share profits, losses, and management responsibilities, governed by California law.
Dissolution means ending the partnership, winding up affairs, paying creditors, and distributing assets according to the agreement.

Operating agreements are used for LLCs, while a partnership agreement governs traditional partnerships and sets similar terms for governance.
Different business structures offer varying liability, taxes, and ongoing obligations; choosing the right option supports long-term planning.
