Description

Partnership Firm: A Collaborative Business Model

A Partnership Firm is a popular business structure in India where two or more individuals come together to manage and operate a business with shared goals, responsibilities, and profits. The terms of the partnership—such as profit-sharing ratio, capital contributions, duties, and dispute resolution—are defined in a legal agreement known as the Partnership Deed.

While registration under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended for legal recognition and enforceability.
