artnership firm is an association of two or more persons who are joint owners of business and governed by Indian Partnership Act 1932. It is the easiest and simplest form of business structure which has minimal compliance requirements. There are two types of Partnership firms, registered and un-registered Partnership firm. It is not mandatory to register a partnership firm, however, it is advisable to get one done due to the benefits. You may get the registration of partnership firm done anytime after formation. The partnership firms are losing their sheen in India due to introduction of Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP) and the benefits offered by latter.
The costs to set up a partnership firm is minimal. There are no filings that need to be done with ROC
Partnership requires minimal compliances as compared to companies or LLP. There are many compliances that do not apply to this structure such as board meetings, audit requirements, statutory meetings, etc. In addition, the services offered by professionals are economical for Partnership firms as compared to a Private Company/LLP.
Due to fewer formalities and paperwork, a partnership firm is quick to set-up as you would just need an agreement to start the proceedings.
A partnership firm is not required to get a statutory audit done.
