Partnerships

A partnership is a business structure whereby two or more owners contribute to the aspects of the business equally. There are general and limited partnerships. A limited partnerships has both general and limited partners. Limited partnerships usually will have passive investors. There are some advantages of a partnership, including the tax treatment since a partnership does not pay tax on its income, but rather it "passes through" any profits or losses to the individual partners. In a general partnership, there are some liability issues, since like sole-proprietors, a partner will be personally liable for the partnership's obligations and liabilities.
