 The definition of a partnership is "two people or more who have consented to take part in operating a business with the objective to profit". For a partnership to be properly formed, the following is required:
· The partnership has at least two people · Every partner accepts any legal responsibility faced by the partnership · Legal proof that the partnership was formed Oral partnerships are possible; however, there is no legal proof of its formation should it face any legal action. Therefore, to clearly outline a partnership, use a Partnership Agreement. General Partnership LiabilityThere is little liability protection of the owners when a partnership is formed and this is a major concern at the beginning. When setting up a general partnership, every partner is equally responsible for its duties and liabilities. Every partner in the business is liable even if one partner engages in illegal activities while doing business on behalf of the partnership. Financial LiabilityAll partners will be responsible for financial debts and other business commitments. A general partnership is not the formation of a new entity; therefore any debt incurred in the operation of the business will be shared by the partners. Taxes do not flow through general partnerships. Every partnership is responsible for their personal as well as their share of taxes earned in the partnership. Your taxes will only be calculated on the profits earned in the partnership.

"My name is Anastasia Yecke Gude and I am the owner of Healing Hands Therapeutic Massage LLC. In the process of my company’s growth and expansion, I suddenly found myself a few weeks ago in need of a 1099 contractor agreement, and I needed it ASAP. As in, the very next day! I contacted the Law Office of Yoel Molina and his assistant put me in touch with Mo. I sent him what I had drafted up and he replied within a few hours with suggested revisions and clarifications, as well as a few insights I had not even considered. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of work he provided, especially considering the time crunch I put him in (sorry, Mo!). I definitely recommend his services to anyone in need of a good contract attorney, and I will be calling him again for future work…hopefully in less of a rush next time!"
