Frequently Asked Questions
What's a partnership and how is it different from other business structures?
A partnership is when two or more parties run a business together, sharing profits and liabilities. Unlike companies, partnerships don’t need to be registered as separate legal entities in Australia. We can help you understand the pros and cons of different business structures.
How many partners do I need to form a partnership?
A partnership must have at least two partners. There’s usually no upper limit, except for some professions. We can provide specific guidance based on your situation and location.
What's the difference between general and limited partnerships?
In general partnerships, all partners share management and liabilities. Limited partnerships have general partners who manage the business and limited partners who invest but don’t manage. We can help you choose the right structure for your needs.
Do I need to register my partnership in Australia?
While partnerships don’t need to be registered as entities, you may need to register for tax purposes and get an ABN. If you use a business name other than the partners’ names, you’ll need to register it. We can guide you through these processes.
How are partnerships taxed in Australia?
Partnerships aren’t taxed separately. Each partner reports their share of the partnership income on their tax returns. We can advise on tax matters related to partnerships.
What documents do I need to form a partnership?
While not legally required, we strongly recommend a written partnership agreement. This document should cover profit sharing, decision-making, dispute resolution, and issues like bankruptcy or dissolution. We can help you draft a comprehensive agreement that gives you confidence in your business venture.
