The Characteristics of Partnership

There are many pros and cons for starting a partnership. A partnership is simple, inexpensive and easy to start. Partnership's formalities are relaxed where there are no required annual meetings, as compared to other formations. Unlike other types such as a corporation, a partnership is not required to file annual financial reports with the state and not required to maintain documents. Most importantly, partnership enjoys favorable tax treatment as a passed-through entity and do not have to pay minimum taxes that are required of LLCs and corporation. However, because partnership formation is relatively simple, there is greater risk of disputes among the partners due to poor organization. Most importantly, the partners in a partnership do not enjoy limited liability. They are personally liable for the partnership’s debt, losses, and other obligations. Under the agency theory, the partnership and a partner may be held liable for other partner’s conduct. Thus, it is imperative to anticipate potential issues that the partnership may be exposed to and reduce it to a written agreement. The agreement should address how partnership reaches a decision and how to resolve a dispute when it arises. In addition, the agreement should layout partner’s termination as well as how to wind-up in the event of partnership dissolution.

In a general partnership, each partner associated with the entity will be held liable for their own business decisions as well as

As I considered which of the partnering principles were the most critical as an instructional leader, it was difficult to pick one specifically over the others.

A limited partnership is similar to a general partnership. It does have several key differences. While a general partnership has to have at least 2 general partners a limited partnership has to have at least 1 general partner and 1 limited partner. A limited partner does not run the business.

Partnership is the relation which subsists between persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit. There are four conditions in which all must be satisfy are the followings:

Much like a sole proprietorships, the creation of a partnership is relatively simple and doesn’t require a large amount of legal documentation, although it is slightly more than a sole proprietorship requires. Also, a partnership is taxed as personal income for each partner, not as a separate entity. That being said, each partner can deduct the losses of the business from their own personal taxes if it is a general partnership. This could be an option for the four brothers and their cousin, Xavier. This would make sure that the business is only run by the family and it gives everyone an equal say in the decision making of the farm. It also would help that the farm would be taxed only as personal income for each of them.
