What is a partnership?

A partnership is a business which involves two or more individuals who share the profits and losses of their business. A partnership is based on a belief, fairness, and mutual understanding and obligations.  

There are 3 types of partnerships:

General Partnership

In general partnership, each partner shares equally their work, ability and all of the profits. All of the general partnership owners are actively involved in the business activities and operations.

You need to be careful by choosing the right partners in a general partnership, because your partner may have dissimilar apparitions or aims for the business. Also, you may find it difficult to find investors.

Limited Partnership

A limited partnership is almost like a general partnership, but the difference is that a limited partnership must have at least one limited partner.

A limited partner is defended from the size of the liability.

Limited Liability Partnership

In this type of partnership, some or all partners have limited liabilities. All partners are not responsible for each other in LLP.

Each one of the partners is not "individually accountable."
