A Partnership Firm registration is governed by ‘The Partnership Act 1932’ and involves two or more Individuals who enter into an agreement called “partnership deed” to carry on a specified business. Unregistered Partnerships involve no separate registration and can be formed easily with lesser legal compliances compared to other corporate entities. Although registration of a partnership firm is optional, the partners may opt for the registration which provides a legal edge over the unregistered partnership.
A partnership firm is registered state-wise under the Registrar of Firms and Societies. The partnership deed is the most crucial document which governs the partnership. In a partnership firm, every partner is liable jointly with all the other partners for all acts of the firm. Alternatively, one can also opt for an LLP Registration which limits the liability of the partners to the extent of capital contributed.
A partnership firm registration can be easily initiated by the partners by entering into a Partnership Deed which is a well-drafted agreement and defines the responsibilities and liabilities of all the partners.
A partnership firm is not compulsorily required to be registered under any law. Hence, there are lesser compliances which are required to be complied with during the normal course of business.
Each partner is personally liable for the losses of a partnership firm, which is a concern in partnerships since every partner is liable for the acts of the other partner.
A Partnership is formed through an agreement among the partners. A written agreement serves as a primary record of the terms and conditions of a partnership.
