How To Make Partnerships Work For Your Venture
Are you interested in “going into partnership” with another individual? What does that mean and how is it done, from a legal perspective? Partnerships can be attractive because they have no paperwork requirements. Unlike other business forms, however, partnerships do not protect partners from liability.
Partnership agreements can define matters that are important to the partners, including financial goals, business responsibilities and even work ethic. Partnership agreements define who is a partner, plus all potential legal obligations. The agreements help prevent disputes. Well-drafted partnership agreements can prevent costly litigation in the future.
In limited partnerships, at least one owner is a general partner and at least one owner is a limited partner. The general partner runs the day-to-day operations of the business, while the limited partner typically is an investor.
