Five Basic Rules Of Partnerships

By Mattie MacDonald


When one would enter a partnership, he is bonded by certain rules under the law which would both allow and restrict him and his partners to do certain things. Now partnerships can be very helpful because it will allow one to have more capital and to have more help with making the business big. Here are some of the basic rules to think about when entering a partnership.

Now before mentioning the rules, it is very important to take note that there are so many types of partners depending on how each partner entered the business. Of course the distribution of roles will be done upon the creation of the business. Another thing to take note of is that every partner will have to follow the rules that were laid out for them.

Now one of the most important things to take note of would be the rule on contributions to the partnership. Now the contributions will be the one to determine how much power one will be getting when it comes to the managing of the business. Now one may contribute cash, property and industry and the partner that contributes the most to the business will be the one that will hold the most power.

Now when in a partnership, the partners have to already be very clear when it comes to the profits and liabilities. Now each partner will be receiving a profit from the business depending on how much he has contributed. The same thing applies for the liabilities which means that each partner will be liable to losses depending also on how much he has contributed.

Now there would also be a rule wherein a partner may make a decision on behalf of the other partners without their consent. They are able to make the company take up any agreement in order to make good decisions for the company. Now this will help make sure that the company does not have any bad decisions.

Now if one would want to end the business, it is also possible but there are also some rules to think about. Now when one would want to dissolve a partnership, then he would be terminating all operations. Now if he would want to be free from the business, he would have to carefully apply for dissolution to do things legally.

Some rules for this kind of situation would be to first make sure that all of them would be notified about the dissolution. When deciding to close the business, the partners would have to legally apply for a dissolution. Also, once the partnership is already dissolved, then all the partners will be able to get their assets back according to what they contributed.

So for those who are interested in creating a partnership, here are some of the rules that they would have to take note of. Now do take note that these rules are backed up by the law and legal action will be taken if they are not followed. If everyone would follow the rules when dealing with a partnership, then everything will go smoothly.
