Partnership

  1. Services
  2. Partnership

When two or more individuals enter into an agreement to manage and operate a business they form a partnership. The members are individually partners and share the liabilities as well as profits of the firm in a predetermined ratio. It is suitable for small businesses that do not want to grow aggressively or have contracts with large liabilities. Low costs, ease of setting up and minimal compliance requirements make it a sensible option for such businesses.

With the advent of Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) has been losing popularity although they remain in vogue for small businesses especially those not looking for any debt.

PARTNERSHIP DEED REGISTRATION

Registration is optional for general partnerships – it is not compulsory. It is advisable to register a Partnership firm due to the added advantages. Only a registered Partnership firm can file a suit in any court against the firm or other partners for the enforcement of any right arising from a contract or right conferred by the Partnership Act. Also, only a Registered Partnership firm can claim a set off (i.e. mutual adjustment of debts owned by the disputant parties to one another) or other proceedings in a dispute with a third party. Partnership firms are registered by the Registrar of Firms, under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932.

  • A minimum of two Persons is required to start a Partnership firm. A maximum number of 20 Partners are allowed in a Partnership firm
  • A partnership firm has no separate legal existence of its own i.e., the Partnership firm and the partners are one and the same in the eyes of law. Liability of the Partners is also unlimited, and the partners are said to be jointly and severally liable for the liabilities of the firm. This means that if the assets and property of the firm is insufficient to meet the debts of the firm, the creditors can recover their loans from the personal property of the individual partners.
  • The partners must be an Indian citizen and a Resident of India.
  • There are restrictions on the transfer of ownership interest in a Partnership firm. A Partner cannot transfer his/her interest in the firm to any person (except to the existing partners) without the unanimous consent of all other partners.

 Partnership Deed

Typically the deed should contain names of the partners and their addresses, the partnership name (business/trade name), the date of commencement of operation of the firm, any capital invested by each partner, the type of partnership and profit-sharing matrix, rules and regulations to be followed for intake of partners or removal.
  • If the Partnership firm is registered, the Partnership deed will be registered and a Registration Certificate will be issued by the Registrar of Firms.
