A Partnership is a business owned and run by two or more people. The partners can share the profits in various different ways, which may include “salaries” or other adjustments. All partners are responsible for the debts and contracts of the business, and are personally liable if the business gets into financial difficulties. As with Sole Traders, from a legal perspective there is very little in the difference between the business and the partners.
Partnerships can be a great way to operate if you are looking for a simplistic way of going into business with one or more people. It is commonly used for “husband and wife” type of businesses. The structure can be also be advantageous if there are multiple partners, as adding and removing partners and their share of ownership of the business is very simple to do. This is a key advantage over a Limited Company.
