Business prenuptial agreements or business partnership agreements vary by the type of partnership and the goals of the business. They also vary by state. Most states operate under a rule called the Uniform Partnership Act or similar.

A prenup allows each spouse to protect the property they owned and brought separately into the marriage, such as a family business or a young entrepreneur's start-up.

For business owners, divorce often involves complex property litigation as they determine how to divide their marital assets and debts. Those who are looking to protect a family business or professional practice in the case of divorce should consider creating either a prenuptial agreement or postnuptial agreement.
