Things To Take Note Of When Entering Partnerships

By Mattie MacDonald


Entering a partnership has its advantages like if one would have partners, he does not need to shoulder the all the investments, expenses and burdens by himself. Now although it is very practical to have business partners, it is also very important to take note that there are rules that would come along with these advantages. So for those who would want to know, here are the five basic rules of managing partnerships.

Now before mentioning the rules, it is very important to take note that there are so many types of partners depending on how each partner entered the business. Of course the distribution of roles will be done upon the creation of the business. Another thing to take note of is that every partner will have to follow the rules that were laid out for them.

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 rule that one would have to remember would be about the allocation of certain profits and losses. Now during the start of the partnership, the partners must already agree on how much each partner will get as well as how much each partner is liable. That way, there will be no confusion in the future when situations regarding profits and losses happen.

Now another rule that one would always have to remember in managing a partnership would be that a partner may make a decision without permission from the rest. So in the event that the company will need to come into an agreement with another party, one partner may make a decision. This will help them not have disputes among themselves.

Now there are also some rules to think of if one would want to dissolve a partnership. Now dissolving a business means totally terminating it and ceasing all of its operations. Now of course this has to be done legally and there is a certain process that one would have to take when doing so.

Now as a general rule, all partners will have to be notified of the dissolution and all of them would have to agree. After all the partners have agreed already, then they have to apply for a dissolution with the government. From there, each of the partners may already be able to get the assets that they contributed back.

So for those who are interested in creating a partnership, here are some of the rules that they would have to take note of. Now do take note that these rules are backed up by the law and legal action will be taken if they are not followed. If everyone would follow the rules when dealing with a partnership, then everything will go smoothly.
