Things To Take Note Of When Entering Partnerships

By Mattie MacDonald


When one would enter a partnership, he is bonded by certain rules under the law which would both allow and restrict him and his partners to do certain things. Now partnerships can be very helpful because it will allow one to have more capital and to have more help with making the business big. Here are some of the basic rules to think about when entering a partnership.

Now one very important thing to take note of is that there are a lot of different partners wherein each partner would have different tasks. Of course it would depend on the agreement of the partners as to who will have what position. However, no matter what kind of partner one may be, these general rules are to be followed.

Now one of the first basic rules that one would have to think about would be the contributions that one would make. Now when it comes to contributing to the partnership, one can actually contribute either cash, property, or industry. Now the amount of control that one partner will have over the business will depend on how much he has contributed to it like if he were to contribute to make up fifty percent of the business, he controls that fifty percent.

Now the next thing to take note of would be the distribution of the profits and losses that the company would be incurring. Now the partners have to determine during the creation of the partnership who will get how much of the share of profits and who will be liable for what. From there a contract has to be made so that in the future, there will be no disputes over who gets what.

Now one very interesting thing to take note of is that one partner may actually make a business decision without asking permission from his partners. Now if in the event a partner has to make a decision on the spot, he may be the one to decide. This will save a lot of time and effort on the part of the partners.

Now there are also some rules to think of when wanting to dissolve a partnership. Now when one would say dissolve a business, he means that he will end the business and terminate all the operations. Of course in order to end the life of a business, one would have to take note of some things in order to do this legally.

Some rules for this kind of situation would be to first make sure that all of them would be notified about the dissolution. When deciding to close the business, the partners would have to legally apply for a dissolution. Also, once the partnership is already dissolved, then all the partners will be able to get their assets back according to what they contributed.

So basically, those are some of the basic rules that one would have to take note of when creating a partnership. Do take note that these rules are in the law of partnership and corporations which means that if one is not followed, then legal action may be taken. Each partner has a specific purpose and place when it comes to the law.
