What Is aPartnership Firm?
A Partnership Firm is a business entity formed when two or more individuals agree to carry on a business together and share profits. The agreement is documented through a legally binding Partnership Deed, which defines each partner’s rights, roles, and profit ratio.
Unlike companies, partnership firms involve simpler compliance, making them ideal for startups and local businesses looking for credibility and operational ease.

Risks & Limitations of aPartnership Firm
Though partnerships are flexible, there are some aspects to consider:
Unlimited Liability: Partners are personally liable for firm debts.
No Separate Legal Entity: The firm and partners are legally considered the same.
Limited Funding Options: Harder to attract investors compared to companies.
Lack of Continuity: The firm may dissolve if a partner exits or passes away.
Avibha Legal can help you evaluate whether a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) might be a better alternative.
