Agreement between PartnersIt is an association of two or more individuals, and a partnership
arises from an agreement or a contract. The agreement (accord) becomes the basis of the association between the
partners. Such an agreement is in the written form.
Two or More Persons In order to manifest a partnership, there should be at least two (2) persons
possessing a common goal. To put it in other words, the minimal number of partners in an enterprise can be two
(2). However, there is a constraint on their maximum number of people.
Sharing of Profit Another significant component of the partnership is, the accord between partners has
to share gains and losses of a trading concern. However, the definition held in the Partnership Act elucidates –
partnership as an association between people who have consented to share the gains of a business, the sharing of
loss is implicit. Hence, sharing of gains and losses is vital.
Business Motive It is important for a firm to carry some kind of business and should have a profit gaining
motive.
Mutual Business The partners are the owners as well as the agent of their firm. Any act performed by
one partner can affect other partners and the firm. It can be concluded that this point acts as a test of partnership
for all the partners.
