General partnerships and limited partnerships

A general partnership and a limited partnership are, in many ways, similar forms of business. In principle, they are set up the same way. A general partnership is ideal for a small business with a trusted partner. A limited partnership, on the other hand, is well suited for business activities based on your personal work input and combined with an investor.

Compare the company forms thoroughly to find the best option for your business.
