A partnership is a business arrangement where two or more parties share in profits, losses, and management. In California, LPs limit liability for limited partners, while general partners maintain control and assume liability.
Key elements include formation documents, roles, capital contributions, profit allocation, governance, and compliance steps such as registrations and annual reports.
