9. Types of Partnerships that should be
considered:
1. General Partnership
2. Limited Partnership and
Partnership with limited liability
3. Joint Venture

10. General Partnership
Partners divide responsibility for
management and liability, as well as the
shares of profit or loss according to their
internal agreement. Equal shares are
assumed unless there is a written
agreement that states differently.

11. Limited Partnership and Partnership with
limited liability
“Limited” means that most of the partners
have limited liability (to the extent of their
investment) as well as limited input regarding
management decision, which generally
encourages investors for short term projects,
or for investing in capital assets. This form of
ownership is not often used for operating
retail or service businesses. Forming a
limited partnership is more complex and
formal than that of a general partnership.

12. Joint Venture
Acts like a general partnership but is clearly
for a limited period of time or a single
project. If the partners in a joint venture
repeat the activity, they will be recognized
as an ongoing partnership and will have to
file as such and distribute accumulated
partnership assets upon dissolution of the
entity.
