Partnership Firm
It is a simpler form of association of two or more persons to do the business in a collective form. It is governed by Indian Partnership Act, 1932. It is voluntary for the partners to get their Partnership Firm registered or not. Further, the inter-se agreement for joining persons as partners may be express or implied. However, for the opening of bank account or fulfillment of statutory compliances etc and also avoiding any other future issue, it is better to have a partnership deed in writing.
Like Proprietorship firm, the Partnership also does not possess any individual legal entity on its own and therefore the liability of all partners in this case is unlimited. Likewise, all the partners are liable for any wrongdoing in the partnership firm without particular reference to individual partners.
