How to Start Partnership Firm
What Is a Partnership Firm?
A partnership is a formal arrangement by two or more parties to manage and operate a business and share its profits. There are several types of partnership arrangements. In a general partnership, all partners share liabilities and profits equally. In other types of partnerships, profits may be shared in different percentages or some partners may have limited liability. Partnerships may also have a "silent partner," in which one party is not involved in the day-to-day operations of the business.
