PARTS OF ARTICLES OF PARTNERSHIP

Many sections should be included in articles of partnership. Depending on exactly what partnership is being created, some of the components listed below may or may not be used.


Principal Components of Articles of Partnership

There are many parts that should be included in any articles of partnership. These are:
  • ''Names of included parties'' - includes all names of people participating in this contract

  • ''Commencement of partnership''- includes when the partnership should begin. The date of the contract is assumed as this date, if none is given.

  • ''Duration of partnership'' - includes how long the partnership should last. It is automatically assumed that the death of one of the contracting parties breaks the contract, unless otherwise stated.

  • ''Business to be done'' - includes exactly what will be done in this partnership. This section should be very particular to avoid confusion and loopholes.

  • ''Name of firm'' - includes the name of the business entity.
