PARTNERSHIP

A partnership is a kind of business where a formal agreement between two or more people is made who agree to be the co-owners, distribute responsibilities for running an organization and share the income or losses that the business generates. 

In India, all the aspects and functions of the partnership are administered under ‘The Indian Partnership Act 1932’. This specific law explains that partnership is an association between two or more individuals or parties who have accepted to share the profits generated from the business under the supervision of all the members or behalf of other members.

General Partnership (GP)

A general partnership is formed immediately when partners begin business activities. There is no official paperwork required. Only general partners exist in a GP.

Limited Partnership (LP)

Limited partnerships (LP) are a form of partnership that provides more protection for partners. In an LP, there is at least one general partner that manages operations and takes on unlimited liability. The remaining partners are limited partners, who hold financial stakes in the business but are not personally liable for the business.

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

Limited liability partnerships (LLP) are an extension of a GP. An LLP is essentially a GP where all partners are protected from the actions of other partners. Essentially, all partners have limited liability. This is different from an LP where there must be at least one partner with unlimited liability.
