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

This form is specifically designed for general partnerships and may not be suitable for limited partnerships or other business structures. It's important to ensure that the agreement aligns with the specific needs and legal requirements of your partnership.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • When partners want to ensure compliance with state laws governing partnerships, this agreement serves as a necessary legal document. It helps in avoiding default legal structures that may not align with the partners' intentions.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate for partnerships involving spouses, as marital partnerships may require different legal considerations and agreements. Couples should consult with a family law attorney for appropriate documentation.
  • โ€“ If the partnership involves more than three partners or requires complex provisions, this short form may not suffice. In such cases, a more detailed long-form Partnership Agreement would be necessary to cover all aspects of the partnership.
  • โ€“ Situations where the partners intend to engage in high-risk business activities may require additional legal protections and considerations that this short form does not provide. Consulting with a legal professional for a tailored agreement is recommended.
  • โ€“ When partners are uncertain about their contributions or roles, this form may not be suitable. A clear understanding of each partner's responsibilities is essential before entering into any agreement.
  • โ€“ If the partnership is intended to operate in multiple states, this form may not address the varying legal requirements across jurisdictions. Partners should seek legal advice to ensure compliance with all relevant state laws.
