Partnership Agreement

What's the Partnership Agreement?

A Partnership Agreement is an internal written document detailing the terms of a partnership. A partnership is a business arrangement where two or more individuals share ownership in a company and agree to share in the profits and losses of their company. Any arrangement between individuals, friends, or families to form a business for profit creates a partnership. As there is no formal registration process, a written Partnership Agreement shows a clear intention to form a partnership. It also sets out in writing the nuts and bolts of the partnership.

Without this partnership agreement, your region’s default partnership rules will continue applying. For example, if you do not detail what happens if a partner leaves or passes away, the state may automatically dissolve your partnership based on its laws. If you want something different than your state’s de facto laws, an agreement allows you to retain control and flexibility on how the partnership should operate.
