Partnership Agreement (General)

Many people find themselves in an actual business partnership without even knowing it. Business partnerships are formed when two or more people carry on a business together or receive income jointly.

You may be the best of friends with the best intentions but a business partnership in many ways can be like a marriage. Business partners are generally liable for the obligations created by each other in the context of doing business. Partners have the authority to bind the partnership to legal arrangements and incur debts on behalf of the partnership, placing the personal assets of the partners at risk. Like a marriage its wise to choose your partners well.

Under Australian tax law you can be deemed to be partners simply by the conduct of the parties towards one another (TR 94/8).

This means if you want some control over your rights and how the partnership impacts on your personal financial situation, then it’s a wise move to have a PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT (or partnership contract) in place.

What should be included in a business Partnership Agreement?

Your contract agreement needs to cover all the potentialities, including: What happens if one party wants to sell their share? How much of this business do you own and how much do the other partners own? How will the profits (or the losses) be split? What should happen upon the death of a partner and many other situations.

It's best to get these issues out on the table before they become a real problem or large amounts of money become involved. A Partnership agreement that deals with these contingencies reduces the turmoil that usually accompanies a partnership dispute, by spelling out the rights and obligations of partners and eliminating the burden of uncertainty.

If you are thinking about a single, short-term project, our Joint Venture agreement maybe more suitable.
