Making a Partnership Agreement
A Partnership Agreement is a contract between one or more businesses or individuals who are choosing to run a business together. Usually, each member will bring to the business initial contributions such as capital, intellectual property, real property, or manufacturing space.
Partnership Agreements define the initial contribution and future contributions that are expected of the partners. The document also outlines how business decisions are made, how to decide partnership percentages, how the business will be managed, and more.
If you are ready to go into business with one or more partners, it may be time to make a Partnership Agreement. With a Partnership Agreement, you can outline the terms of your new business relationship. You will be able to list all partners to the agreement as well as their contribution amounts, ownership interest percentages, cost share, profit share, and responsibilities. This contract can help you outline the terms of your business engagement, how the business will be run, and ultimately how the partnership may dissolve.
