Overview

What is a Partnership Firm?

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.

Note that a partnership firm does not offer limited liability: partners are personally liable for the firm’s debts. It suits small businesses and family ventures that prioritise simplicity and low cost over liability protection.

Who should choose this?

  • Two or more people starting a small business together
  • Family-run businesses and traditional trading ventures
  • Owners who want minimal setup cost and compliance
  • Businesses that don’t need to raise external equity funding
