For how to structure the firm, here are various partnership business examples:
General partnership
When both partners share in business operations and take joint responsibility for the debt of the corporation, a general partnership is created. General partnerships are attractive to many business owners because they can take any type of business organization and are easy to launch. It is important to realize, however, that a general partnership has very little protection from liability for the partners. Talk to an advisor to evaluate the dangers of the relationship before agreeing to a general partnership.
Limited partnership
When small business partners take an unequal level of involvement in the business, a limited partnership structure is most often chosen, especially if one partner takes an investor position without participating in day-to-day operations. Not all relationships with partners may count as limited partnerships.
Limited liability partnership
A limited liability partnership is, as the name suggests, a partnership structure that limits the personal financial obligation of each party. For much of the same tax and legal consequences, it is the partnership alternative of establishing a limited liability partnership. If you and your small business partner are creating a small partnership business of equal involvement, a limited liability partnership could be the perfect structure for you.
