1) ACTIVEPARTNER
• An active partner is one who contributes
capital, participates in the management
of the firm, shares its profits and losses,
and is liable to an unlimited extent to
the creditors of the firm.
• These partners take actual part in
carrying out business of the firm on
behalf of other partners
2- SLEEPINGORDORMANTPARTNER
• Partners who do not take part in the
day to day activities of the business
are called sleeping partners.
• A sleeping partner, however,
contributes capital to the firm, shares
its profits and losses, and has
unlimited liability.
3- SECRETPARTNER
• A secret partner is one whose association
with the firm is unknown to the general
public.
• Other than this distinct feature, in all other
aspects he is like the rest of the partners.
• He contributes to the capital of the firm,
takes part in the management, shares its
profits and losses, and has unlimited liability
towards the creditors.
4- NOMINALPARTNER
• A nominal partner is one who allows the
use of his/her name by a firm, but does not
contribute to its capital. He/she does not
take active part in managing the firm, does
not share its profit or losses but is liable,
like other partners, to the third parties, for
the repayments of the firm’s debts.
5- PARTNERBYESTOPPEL
• A person is considered a partner by
estoppel if, through his/her own initiative,
conduct or behavior he/she gives an
impression to others that he/she is a
partner of the firm.
• Such partners are held liable for the debts
of the firm because in the eyes of the third
party they are considered partners, even
though they do not contribute capital or
take part in its management.
6- PARTNERBY HOLDINGOUT
• A partner by ‘holding out’ is a person who
though is not a partner in a firm but knowingly
allows him/herself to be represented as a
partner in a firm.
• Such a person becomes liable to outside
creditors for repayment of any debts which have
been extended to the firm on the basis of such
presentation.
• In case he is not really a partner and wants to
save himself from such a liability, he should
immediately issue a denial, clarifying his
position that he is not a partner in the firm. If he
does not do so, he will be responsible to the
Types of partners
