Partnership

A Partnership is a business arrangement where two or more persons or entities carry on a business together, sharing profits, losses, and management as governed by law and any partnership agreement (including general partnerships and limited partnerships). In venture and fund contexts, Partnership structures are common for investment vehicles, and Partnership tax treatment (often pass-through) is a key driver of their use.
