Limited Partnership (LP) Other contributors, known as limited (or silent) partners, provide capital but cannot make managerial decisions and are not responsible for any debts beyond their initial investment. Limited partners can become personally liable if they take a more active role in the LP.

Limited partnership (LP) is a type of partnership organization that limits the personal liability of some partners. In general partnerships, every partner remains personally liable for the debts and obligations of the partnership.

Partnerships are generally guided by a partnership agreement, which may allow or restrict transfers of partnership interest. Partners must follow the terms of the agreement. If the agreement allows it, a partner can transfer ownership stakes in terms of profits, voting rights and responsibilities.

A limited partner does not have the right or the power as a limited partner to act for or bind the limited partnership.

LPs typically are prohibited from transferring their limited partnership interests unless the GP consents to the transfer.
