The establishment of a partnership firm is a significant aspect of business organisation and is widely adopted in India. It requires a minimum of two individuals to form a partnership firm. Such firms are created when individuals collaborate to establish a business and distribute its profits among themselves based on a pre-agreed ratio. The scope of a partnership business encompasses various trades, occupations and professions.
The operations and regulations of partnership firms in India are governed by the Indian Partnership Act of 1932. The individuals who come together to initiate a partnership firm are referred to as partners. The formation of the partnership firm is based on a contractual agreement among the partners, known as a partnership deed. This deed governs the relationships between the partners themselves and between the partners and the partnership firm.
