The partnership business includes any kind of trade, occupations and professions. A partnership firm is easy to form & dissolve with fewer compliances as compared to LLP and companies.

The contract between the partners is known as a partnership deed which regulates all the terms and conditions among/between the partners and the partnership firm.
