When it comes to partnerships Alex, Bill, Carl, and Devon will have two options- a general partnership or a limited partnership. Partnerships are beginning to be a business form of the past. Once upon a time, partnerships were “the default form of business and provided the benefit of pass-through taxation, but lacked the important feature of limited liability” (Chrisman, 2010, p. 465). In a general partnership, each partner associated with the entity will be held liable for their own business decisions as well as
A partnership is an arrangement between two or more groups, organizations or individuals who work together to achieve common aims or who have common interests.
Besides the sole proprietorship after reading I learned about three basic types of business organizations known as limited liability (LLC), partnership, and corporation. Sole proprietorship is a “business owned and operated by a single person. The business has no separate legal existence from its owner.” (Rogers, 2012) In the textbook it said “Partnership is an association of two or more competent persons to carry on a business as co-owners for profit. The business itself is not a legal entity.” (Rogers, 2012) The law says competent means a partner having contractual capacity and a partnership where each partners simultaneously a principle and agent. You can partner up with a minor but be wise to emancipation or be cautions because minors can void partnership agreements. Partners of a business are owners and managers automatically unless specified otherwise by partners but according to the law they presume equal rights. “Note that while there can be unprofitable partnerships, there is no such thing as a nonprofit partnership. The partners must intend to make a profit.” (Rogers, 2012)

A partnership is the best form of business given Shania’s situation. She has support from all angles that want to help her Christian coffee shop be a success. A limited liability partnership is best suited for Shania because of her possible partnerships with her husband, sister, and neighbor. According to the Limited Partnership (2015) article, this form of business is a “voluntary association where one or more partners contribute capital only, and those partners play no role in management.” Her husband wanted to make a contribution to Shania’s business but not in the lane of management, so by using this partnership he can still contribute his capital and maintain his partnership. The liability is limited to the amount of capital that the partner contributes. As a “silent partner” Marvin can make investments with the company, but not have any voting power or control over day-to-day operations.
A partnership is the creation of two or more people who operate a business as co-owners and share profits. There is a collective amount of money that is contributed to the organization as it pertains to all aspect of the business and in return each individual share equally the profits and losses of the business. Partnerships require that there be a partnership agreement established because more than one person can make decisions for the partnership. The agreement should include how future business decisions will be made, the profits will be split among the partners, and the dissolving of the partnership (sba.gov). The partnership must file an annual information return that reports income, deductions, gains, and losses that occur from normal business operations. The business does not pay income taxes but the business pass through any profits and losses to its partners. Taxes that are included in a partnership are: employment tax, excise tax, annual return of income, income tax, self-employment tax, and estimated tax. Other qualifications of a partnership is that partners must furnish a copy of their Schedule K-1 form to all the partners by the date of the Form. It is important to remember that partners are not employees and they are not to be issued a W-2 Form.
A partnership requires four simple rules, “It must be an association of two or more people, carrying on a business; of co owners, and for profit. (Cheeseman 2006, pg 374) In the case of “Bears Are Us” they qualify as a partnership. Paul and Pete have verbally agreed to share responsibilities in the business and are doing so by sharing roles and responsibilities. Pete and Paul are more than one, have equal say in management decisions, the business has grown into more than a “spare time devotion,” and they receive profit and salary; therefore, they have reach all qualifications of a formation of partnership.
The partnership is a form of business that could be possible in Shania’s scenario due to the other individuals showing interest in the business idea. She can create a partnership with one or more persons and sharing of the profits is divided equally, unless an agreement states otherwise (Kubasek, et al., 2015, p. 423). Some of the benefits of a partnership are the ability to raise more capital and to share ownership responsibilities (Block, et al., 2015, p. 9). With committed partners it is possible to have a successful partnership.

As Phoebe neither wishes to be involved in the business nor made an investment, she will be an employee. Limited partners are considered to be more like investors and so without an investment there is no indicator of her liability (James, 2014, p513).
A Partnership is a business form that consists of two or more individuals. There are two types of partnerships; general and limited. General partners are liable for the full extent of debts and obligations within the business. Limited partnerships provide individuals with a limitation of responsibilities in the organization’s liability; this type of partnership is dependent upon the investment percentage. Advantages of partnerships consist of cost efficiency, shared financial responsibility, complementary skill association, and offer employees partnership incentives. Disadvantages of partnerships are joint and individual liability, disagreements between partners, and shared profits (“U.S. Small Business Administration,” 2013).
