What is a Partnership Firm?

A Partnership Firm is a type of business where two or more people join hands to run and manage a business together, share profits, and make decisions jointly. It’s one of the oldest and most popular business types in India, especially for small to medium businesses, shops, traders, professionals, or family-run enterprises.

In a partnership, everything is based on trust and a written agreement between partners, called a Partnership Deed. This document mentions how profits and losses will be shared, how decisions will be made, what responsibilities each partner has, and what happens if someone wants to leave the business.

You can start a partnership firm with just two people and a simple agreement. Although registration is not compulsory, a registered firm gets legal benefits, like the ability to file cases in court, open a business bank account, and apply for loans, tenders, or GST.
