FAQs
- What is a Partnership Firm?
A Partnership is where two (or more) people join hands to carry out a business for profit. The partners become joint business owners and carry out operations governed by the partnership deed. The regulations are least and it makes it a desirable option for businesses having joint owners. However, in a partnership firm the partners are jointly and individually liable for debts of the firm. This form of structure is ideal if there are no/less requirement of external funds and low risk of bad-debts for example consultancy firms.
- Why should Partnership Firm go for registration?
Partnership firms are governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. Under the act, registration is not mandatory but it is advisable due to following reasons:

- The unregistered firm or its partners can’t file a case against third party on breach of a contract but the third party can file a Expert'se
- In case of a dispute with a third party, the unregistered firm or any of its partners cannot claim a set off
- When should we apply for registration of our partnership firm ?
A partnership firm can be registered whether at the time of its formation or even subsequently. The application for registration is to be made to the registrar of firms of the region in which the business is situated. It is advisable to get the firm registered as soon as it starts its business to avail the rights that can be enjoyed only by a registered firm.
- Is there any guideline on choosing name for the firm?
