COMPANY FORMATION
Partnership
A Partnership is a popular business structure where two or more individuals come together to share ownership, profits, and responsibilities in managing the business. Governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, this structure allows partners to pool resources and skills for business growth. Partnerships are particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises, providing flexibility in management, ease of setup, and shared responsibilities. However, unlike Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), partners in a traditional partnership are personally liable for business debts and obligations.

1. Ease of Formation: Simple setup process with minimal documentation and formalities.
2. Shared Responsibility: Partners share the management, risks, and profits of the business.
3. Greater Flexibility: Partnerships offer flexibility in decision-making, profit-sharing, and management roles.
4. Pooling of Resources and Skills: Partners can combine their skills, expertise, and financial resources for business growth.
5. Tax Efficiency: Partnership firms benefit from favorable tax treatment, where profits are taxed at the partner level.
