A critical step in forming a partnership is understanding the various structures available, such as general partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships, each with distinct liability and management characteristics….
A partnership has two or more owners who share in the profits and losses of a business. A general partnership is the most basic form of a partnership. Forming a general partnership requires a minimal number of forms to be filed, but does require a signed partnership agreement. Some requirements and qualities of a general partnership include:
A limited partnership is one in which there is a general partner who is in charge of running the business and limited partners who invest in the business. A limited partnership differs in many ways from a general partnership. The primary distinction is that limited partners in a limited partnership have limited liability protection. Some other qualities unique to a limited partnership include:
A limited liability partnership, in Texas, is an entity in which all of the partners, whether general partners or limited partners, have liability protection. Either a general partnership or a limited partnership can apply with the State to become a limited liability partnership. Limited partnerships that become limited liability partnerships are also referred to as limited liability limited partnerships (LLLPs). If you are looking to start a partnership, it is important to consult a small business lawyer to determine which type of partnership may be best for you.
