What is a Partnership Agreement for?

 To record the terms agreed between the partners.  You need this if you want to establish a three-person partnership, or formalise an existing partnership, and want to set out your relationship to the other parties, your mutual obligations, and the rules governing the conduct of the partnership business.

Unlike a limited company, a partnership has no articles of association so the way it is owned and managed needs to be agreed by the partners.

What are the main points for a partnership agreement?

•  Name and business of partnership
  What is the partnership called and what is the main purpose of the business
• Partnership capital

• Decision making
