A partnership firm is the simplest way for two or more people to run a business together. It is quick to set up, easy to operate and needs minimal compliance, which makes it a practical choice for shops, traders, agencies and family run businesses.

What is Partnership Firm Registration?
A partnership firm is governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. The partnership deed records profit sharing ratios, capital contribution, duties and exit terms.
