Written partnership agreements are not required by law, but whenever you and at least one other person decide to go into business together, you should draft one as soon as possible.
No formal or written agreement among the partners is needed to create a partnership, even though under current law, “A partnership is an entity distinct from its partners”. Corp. Code § 16201; 9 Witkin, Summary of California Law (10th Ed., 2008), Partnership, § 23.
How do I create a Partnership Agreement? Provide partnership details. Start by specifying the industry you're in and what type of business you'll run. Detail the capital contributions of each partner. Outline management responsibilities. Prepare for accounting. Add final details.
However, if you have no written business agreement in place, you may be unable to carry out the day-to-day tasks of the partnership, like paying yourself a salary. Instead, you and your partner may need to wait until the end of each year and split the partnership's profits and losses equally.
However, it is recommended to have a written partnership deed as it helps avoid any disputes or misunderstandings between the partners by establishing the terms of the partnership, such as the capital contribution of each partner, the profit-sharing ratio, and the rights and rights obligations of each partner.

A contract of partnership is a contract by which the parties, in a spirit of cooperation, agree to carry on an activity, including the operation of an enterprise, to contribute thereto by combining property, knowledge or activities and to share among themselves any resulting pecuniary profits.
