Text 2 Partnerships
A partnership is the relationship that exists between two or more persons who join together to carry on a trade or business.
Partnerships offer an easy way to overcome some limitations of proprietorships. The difficulties of finding suitable partners and the likelihood of disagreement explain why partnerships account for less than 10 percent of all American businesses.
Since partners are part owners, they share unlimited liability for the debts and obligations of the business. Partnership income is not separate from the personal income of each partner and is taxed at personal income rates.
The two major types of partners are general partners and limited partners.
General partners are active in management of the business, may make agreements that are binding on the business, are fully liable for its debts, and are taxed on their share of the profits.
The liability of limited partners is limited to the amount of capital they have invested in the business.
A partnership is a good faith arrangement, and so no partner may take advantage of the business for personal gain. By combining the talents and knowledge of two or more people, partnerships often have better management and sometimes greater stability than proprietorships.
The partnership is not a very stable form of ownership since its existence may be ended by the death, retirement or dissatisfaction of any one of the partners. The close personal relationship that must exist between partners can sometimes create problems.
