REG-04|Business Registration & Incorporation

Partnership Firm

A traditional structure, set up on solid documentation.

We draft a clear partnership deed and complete the registration process, so responsibilities, profit-sharing and exit terms are settled upfront, not argued about later.

01|OVERVIEW

What is Partnership Firm?

A partnership firm is a business run by two or more people who agree to share profits according to a partnership deed, governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. It's one of the simplest ways for multiple people to run a business together.

Registration is technically optional under the Act, but an unregistered firm loses several legal rights — including the ability to sue a third party or another partner to enforce the partnership deed — which makes registration worth doing properly.

Gurur Consultancy drafts a partnership deed that reflects how the partners actually intend to work together, and completes the registration with the Registrar of Firms.
