A Partnership Firm is a business owned by two or more people who agree to share the profits and responsibilities of a business, governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. The terms are set out in a partnership deed.
Registration of a partnership firm is optional, but a registered firm enjoys important legal advantages — such as the ability to sue third parties or partners to enforce rights. It is quick and inexpensive to establish, with minimal ongoing compliance.
