A Partnership Agreement is a legal document that memorializes the partnership of two or more individuals (not husband and wife) in a for-profit business endeavor. A Partnership Agreement is important because it sets out the arrangements between the parties which may include capital contributions, how a buy-out will be conducted and whether other partners will be included. It is important to note that if you operate as a partnership, but do not have a proper Partnership Agreement in place, the laws of your state will govern how your partnership does business. Some states may require that the entity be registered or that a partnership agreement be created.

In general partnerships are broadly defined so there is a large degree of flexibility in how they are formed. By law, when two people join together to create a business, a partnership is formed. A Partnership Agreement will serve as a guideline as to how the partnership will conduct its affairs and business transactions. This Partnership Agreement is the short form. If you require more detail and extended provisions regarding partnership termination, buy out and other matters, you can opt to use our Partnership Agreement - Long Form.

  • Term of the Partnership: Sets out the term of the agreement
  • Contributions: Sets forth the capital contributions of the partners

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are considering starting a business together can benefit from this Partnership Agreement to clearly outline their roles, responsibilities, and contributions. Establishing these terms upfront helps prevent misunderstandings and disputes down the line.
  • Situations requiring a formalized agreement among partners can arise when two or more people decide to invest in a venture. This document serves as a foundational agreement that details how profits, losses, and management duties will be shared.
  • For those looking to formalize an existing partnership, this short form can quickly establish the legal framework necessary to protect each partner's interests. It ensures that all parties are on the same page regarding the operation and management of the business.
  • New business owners may need this Partnership Agreement to comply with state laws that govern partnerships. Without a proper agreement, the default state laws may impose terms that do not reflect the partners' intentions.
  • Entrepreneurs who wish to avoid potential legal disputes in the future should consider using this Partnership Agreement. It provides a clear structure for operations and management, which can be crucial in times of disagreement.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate for partnerships involving spouses, as it is specifically designed for non-married partners. Spousal partnerships may require different legal considerations.
  • โ€“ In cases where the partnership is intended to be a limited partnership, this short form may not provide the necessary provisions for limited partners. A more detailed agreement would be needed to address their rights and responsibilities.
  • โ€“ If the partners are seeking to create a complex business structure with multiple layers of management and ownership, this short form may lack the necessary detail. A longer, more comprehensive agreement would be advisable.
  • โ€“ For partnerships that require specific regulatory compliance, such as those in certain professional fields, this form may not meet all legal requirements. Consulting with a legal professional is recommended in such scenarios.
  • โ€“ This Partnership Agreement should not be used if the partners intend to operate under a different business structure, such as a corporation or limited liability company (LLC), as those entities require different legal documentation.
