Partnership Agreements
Creating Partnership Agreements That Work For You
Partners in a business need to regulate their relationship in order to minimise disagreements and maximise commercial efficiency. While a business partnership is not legally obliged to put an agreement in place it makes a great deal of corporate, financial and personal sense to do so.
With a partnership agreement, you can document how you wish any future issues to be handled among or between partners and outline the procedures to be used.
These are just some of the areas partnership agreements cover:
- How company profit and loss are divided
- What happens when a partner leaves, how to deal with an exit and how to divide the person’s share of assets and profits
- How to deal with matters when a partner dies, and what to do with the assets and profits
- Who makes the decisions, which decisions are made by individual partners and which are made unanimously
- The day-to-day operations, how these are monitored and managed, and by whom
Partnership agreements protect you, the business and your partners, and enable you to focus on the running of your firm without the worry of what-ifs as any future issues can be dealt with according to the legal contract.
