What is a Partnership Firm?
A Partnership Firm is one of the most popular business structures in India, where two or more individuals come together to run a business with the goal of sharing profits and responsibilities.
It is governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, and is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises looking for a straightforward business model. Partnership Firms are relatively easy to set up, have fewer compliance requirements compared to other entities like Private Limited Companies, and offer flexibility in management.
Main Characteristics of a Partnership Firm
- Agreement: A Partnership Firm is established based on a mutual agreement among the partners outlining their rights and liabilities, the ratio of sharing profit, and management responsibilities.
- Unlimited Liability: In Partnership Firm, the liability for partners is unlimited, and even personal assets of the partners have to be used towards business debts as and when incurred.
- Shared Management: Both partners share equal management rights while making decisions can be diverse.
- Profit sharing: Profits are divided on the basis that is agreed up in the agreement of partnership.
- Minimum Compliance: Formation of a Partnership Firm requires less legal formalities and lower compliance costs than any other form of business.
Types of Partnership Firms in India
- Registered Partnership Firm: This type of firm is registered with the Registrar of Firms and enjoys certain legal advantages, such as the ability to sue third parties or partners in case of disputes.
- Unregistered Partnership Firm: Although legally valid, an unregistered firm has limited legal rights and may not be able to enforce certain contracts or agreements in court.
