BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

Partnership agreements are documents that are written to explain the connection between the business partners as well as their individual responsibilities towards a partnership. This document is often complex, hence contains all possible business circumstances that may arise over the partnership’s period. Freedom Rings will help you putting together and reviewing the final contract. If a partnership doesn’t have a partnership agreement set up in the event it dissolves, the laws from the Uniform Partnership Act as well as other state laws will determine how the assets and debts on the partnership are distributed.
