Are there rules on how partnerships are run? The only requirement is that in the absence of a written agreement, partners don't draw a salary and share profits and losses equally. Partners have a duty of loyalty to the other partners and must not enrich themselves at the expense of the partnership.
Unlike a corporation that must be set up by filing articles of incorporation with a state agency, you can form a partnership without following any formalities at all. As long as both parties intend to work together for profit, any act in furtherance of the relationship is enough to solidify the partnership.
If you are a business owner, looking to draft your own partnership agreement, you can do so using free templates available online. It is advisable to contact a business lawyer or a partnership agreement lawyer to ensure that the agreement follows the federal, state and local laws.
If there is no written partnership agreement, partners are not allowed to draw a salary. Instead, they share the profits and losses in the business equally. The agreement outlines the rights, responsibilities, and duties each partner has to the company and to each other.
No partner has a right to an asset used by a partnership. As such, on dissolution of a partnership, without a written agreement, any assets will be sold and the proceeds used to pay off any partnership debts.
