Partnership Firm Registration
A Partnership Firm is formed when two or more individuals come together to carry on a business and share its profits. Governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, it is a simple and flexible structure suitable for family businesses, trading firms, and professional practices. While registration is optional, a registered partnership firm enjoys legal advantages such as the right to sue third parties and enforce rights against other partners.
