What is Partnership Firm?

A Partnership Firm is a business structure where two or more individuals come together to carry on a business and share profits as per mutually agreed terms. The firm operates under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, and the relationship between partners is governed by a Partnership Deed.

Unlike companies or LLPs, a partnership firm does not have a separate legal identity from its partners, making management simple and flexible.

Governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932
