Frequently Asked Question

A partnership firm is an organization which is constituted by two or more persons to run a business with the goal of earning profit. Each member of such a firm is known as a partner, and collectively the firm is known as a partnership firm.

There hasn’t been any limit provided on the number of partners according to the Partnership Act, 1932. However, this limit has been prescribed as 50 as per Rule 10 of the Companies (Miscellaneous) Rules, 2014.

Some of the benefits of a Partnership Firm are mentioned below:- ● Simplest form of business structure (if there are multiple partners) ● Sharing of responsibility and liability among the partners ● Sharing of losses among the partners ● More capital can be contributed as there are multiple partners ● Fewer compliances have to be undertaken ● Registration of a Partnership Firm is not mandatory ● There can be different types of partners, such as active, dormant, etc.

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a relatively newer form of business structure that has been introduced by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. It is sort of a hybrid structure that mutually takes some important features of two business structures, i.e. a Company and a Partnership Firm. LLP as a Partnership Firm It takes some features from the Partnership Firm, since a minimum of members are required to start the business, all the members are known as partners, and they share profits & losses arising out of the business. LLP as a Company Moreover, an LLP also enjoys some of the benefits of the Company structure, such as a separate legal entity, limited liability of the partners, perpetual existence, etc. Number of Compliances However, an LLP, though it enjoys certain benefits of both a Partnership Firm as well as Company structure, also suffers from a compliance perspective. An LLP has to be mandatorily registered, and the number of annual compliances also increases considerably in comparison to the Partnership Firm structure.

Yes, it's necessary to notarise a partnership deed. Notarization and registration lend a legality to the deed without which the partnership will just be an agreement without enforceability.

As per the Partnership Act 1932, it is not compulsory to register a partnership firm. The firm does not have a separate legal identity, and registration (or no registration) will not alter this fact. However, registration is the definite proof of the existence of the firm and its legality, and there are certain benefits of the same.

There is no time allotted for the registration of a partnership firm. It can be registered anytime, as per the partner’s choice, that is, before the start of business or even after its commencement.

My cousin and I were starting a wholesale business, but we kept arguing about who would manage finances and how profits would be shared. Lawyaar helped us draft a Business Partnership Agreement that clearly defined roles, capital contribution, and profit-sharing ratios. After signing it, our discussions became structured and professional.
