This document discusses types of partners and partnerships. It begins by defining a partnership as when two or more people come together to form a business. It then outlines five types of partners: active partners who are involved daily, sleeping partners who are not actively involved, nominal partners who are not legally partners, partners in profits only, and secret partners. The document also discusses four types of partnerships: fixed partnerships formed for a specific purpose/time, partnerships at will with no fixed term, partnerships for particular work, and limited partnerships where some partners' liability is limited. The objective is to study partnerships and understand the different types of partners and structures.
