Partnership Firm Registration

Partnership Firm Registration:

A partnership is an arrangement where parties, known as business partners, agree to cooperate to advance their mutual interests. The partners in a partnership may be individuals, businesses, interest-based organizations, schools, governments or combinations. Organizations may partner to increase the likelihood of each achieving their mission and to amplify their reach. In order to come into being, every partnership necessarily involves a partnership agreement, even if it has not been reduced to writing. In common law jurisdictions a written partnership agreement is not legally required, but partners may benefit from a partnership agreement that articulates the important terms of the relationship between them.
