FAQ
The Silent Partner's Contribution The partnership agreement needs to specify how much capital the silent partner contributes to the business. The agreement should also list the exact date the partner made the contribution and a detailed description that explains the reason for the partner's contribution.
Silent partners get paid depending on their contribution and their equity in your business. Let's say that your silent partner invested $50,000, and your business is valued at $500,000. That means they have 10% ownership of the business, and they'll receive 10% of the profits.
A silent partner is any individual who provides funding to a business as his only contribution. Partnerships and LLCs can have silent partners. Silent partners can also be referred to as limited partners (LPs).
This means the partner isn't responsible for paying any debt that the company may accumulate. Limited liability is especially important for partners investing in start-up companies, as they assume no risk if the company doesn't perform as the partner expects or if the business owner pursues another opportunity instead.
Answer : In an LLP, a person remains a 'partner' even without a capital contribution to the business. A person can be a 'working partner' without contributing any capital, and receive a share in the profits/ losses with or without remuneration.
If you want to be a silent partner in a business, you only need to invest money in the business, while staying uninvolved in management activities. Typically, your name will be in the partnership agreement, but you will have no say in the business's operation.
A silent partner is not actively involved in the running of a business. A general partner is actively involved in the running of a business.
A silent partner is seldom involved in the partnership's daily operations and does not generally participate in management meetings. Silent partners are also known as limited partners, since their liability is typically limited to the amount invested in the partnership.
A silent partner is also known as a dormant partner; an investor who becomes a member of a partnership by virtue of capital contribution, but plays an inactive role in the daily operation and management of the business.
The silent partner steps back and lets you run the business. Once your business turns a profit, the silent partner receives 20% of the net profit. The profit is what's left after you subtract business expenses from your total sales revenue.
