A Partnership Firm is a business structure where two or more persons agree to operate a business together and share its profits and losses according to mutually agreed terms.
The relationship among partners is governed by a Partnership Deed, which acts as the primary document outlining the internal structure of the firm.
Unlike companies and LLPs, a partnership firm does not have a completely separate legal identity from its partners. However, it offers simplicity in formation, operational flexibility, and minimal compliance requirements.
Due to its simplicity, the partnership structure remains a popular choice for small businesses and professional collaborations in India.
