Partnerships can be classified as commercial or professional based on their activities. As for liability, partnerships can be general, where all partners have unlimited liability, or limited, where at least one partner has limited liability. A partnership's duration can be at will, with no fixed term, or it can have a fixed term for a specific purpose or undertaking.
