Types of partnerships:
General Partnerships
A general partnership involves two or more owners carrying out a business purpose.
General partners share equal rights and responsibilities in connection with management
of the business, and any individual partner can bind the entire group to a legal obligation.
Each individual partner assumes full responsibility for all of the business's debts and
obligations. Although such personal liability is daunting, it comes with a tax advantage:
partnership profits are not taxed to the business, but pass through to the partners, who
include the gains on their individual tax returns at a lower rate.
Limited Partnerships
A limited partnership allows each partner to restrict his or her personal liability to the
amount of his or her business investment. Not every partner can benefit from this
limitation -- at least one participant must accept general partnership status, exposing
himself or herself to full personal liability for the business's debts and obligations. The
general partner retains the right to control the business, while the limited partner(s) do(es)
not participate in management decisions. Both general and limited partners benefit from
business profits. However, this type of partnership does not exist in Pakistan.
