Talk to a Partnership Registration ExpertWhat is a Partnership Firm?
A partnership firm is a business owned by two or more persons who agree to share profits and losses, governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. The terms of the relationship are set out in a partnership deed covering capital, profit-sharing ratio, roles and dissolution.
A partnership is simple and inexpensive to start, but partners carry unlimited liability for the firm’s debts. If you want limited liability, consider an LLP or a private limited company instead. A single owner can opt for a proprietorship.
Who Should Register a Partnership Firm?
- Two or more people starting a small or family business together.
- Traders, retailers and service providers wanting a quick, low-cost structure.
- Businesses that do not need to raise external equity funding.
- Partners who want a clear, written profit-sharing arrangement.

A partnership firm needs a minimum of two partners. The maximum number of partners is generally limited to fifty, as prescribed under the rules.
What is a partnership deed?
A partnership deed is the written agreement among partners that sets out capital contribution, profit-sharing ratio, roles, responsibilities, and the terms for admission, retirement and dissolution.
Do partners have unlimited liability in a partnership firm?
