Unit 5 Discussion: Partnership Agreements
Note: Please complete your reading assignment and view the unit presentations before you participate in this discussion.
Partnership agreements can vary, depending upon what the partner contributes to the agreement. Each partner brings certain personal skills and assets into a partnership. For example, one partner could supply technical knowledge while the other partner supplies business knowledge or perhaps the financing for the partnership. When there are two parties involved, the partnership agreement would easily be split 50/50.
However, when there are multiple partners involved, the partnership becomes more complicated. Perhaps one partner supplies time to run the business, another partner supplies talent, and the third partner supplies physical assets, and yet another partner supplies financing. The partnership agreement obviously becomes more difficult to structure.
As you have learned in this unit, there are different methods used to allocate income among the partners. Income can be allocated based on stated ratios, services, and capital. Some partners do not provide any services but provide capital such as cash or equipment to the partnership. This is why it's so important to choose a business form that bests covers the needs and wants of everyone in involved.
