Partnership as a form of business
If your business will be owned and run by several entrepreneurs, you can structure your business as a partnership.
The most common types of partnerships are general partnerships and limited partnerships.
In a general partnership, partners own and operate the business and assume responsibility for the partnership’s debts and other obligations.
In a limited partnership, there are general and limited partners. The general partners own and operate the business and assume liability for the partnership. As for limited partners, they serve as investors only. They can’t control the company and they don’t assume responsibility for the same liabilities as general partners.
