The Simple And Basic Rules Of Managing Partnerships

By Mattie MacDonald


Entering a partnership has its advantages like if one would have partners, he does not need to shoulder the all the investments, expenses and burdens by himself. Now although it is very practical to have business partners, it is also very important to take note that there are rules that would come along with these advantages. So for those who would want to know, here are the five basic rules of managing partnerships.

Now one very important thing to take note of is that there are a lot of different partners wherein each partner would have different tasks. Of course it would depend on the agreement of the partners as to who will have what position. However, no matter what kind of partner one may be, these general rules are to be followed.

Now one of the first basic rules that one would have to think about would be the contributions that one would make. Now when it comes to contributing to the partnership, one can actually contribute either cash, property, or industry. Now the amount of control that one partner will have over the business will depend on how much he has contributed to it like if he were to contribute to make up fifty percent of the business, he controls that fifty percent.

Now the next thing to take note of would be the distribution of the profits and losses that the company would be incurring. Now the partners have to determine during the creation of the partnership who will get how much of the share of profits and who will be liable for what. From there a contract has to be made so that in the future, there will be no disputes over who gets what.

Now one very interesting thing to take note of is that one partner may actually make a business decision without asking permission from his partners. Now if in the event a partner has to make a decision on the spot, he may be the one to decide. This will save a lot of time and effort on the part of the partners.

Now there are also some rules to think of when wanting to dissolve a partnership. Now when one would say dissolve a business, he means that he will end the business and terminate all the operations. Of course in order to end the life of a business, one would have to take note of some things in order to do this legally.

Now as a general rule, all partners will have to be notified of the dissolution and all of them would have to agree. After all the partners have agreed already, then they have to apply for a dissolution with the government. From there, each of the partners may already be able to get the assets that they contributed back.

So if one is interested in creating a partnership, these are some of the basic rules that he would have to take note of. Now one has to make sure that him and his partners would follow all of these rules otherwise legal actions can be taken. Now do take note that all partners have their own tasks and they must follow the law.
