A partnership deed is a legal document that sets out the terms and conditions of a partnership
between two or more people. It is an essential document for any partnership, as it provides clarity and certainty for all parties involved.
The partnership deed should include the following information:
- The names of the partners
- The name of the partnership firm
- The nature of the business to be carried on
- The duration of the partnership
- The capital contribution of each partner
- The profit sharing ratio
- The management structure of the partnership
- The rights and responsibilities of the partners
- The process for admitting or retiring partners
- The process for dissolving the partnership
The draft partnership deed between A and B would be similar to the above, but would be specific to the two partners involved. It would need to be tailored to their individual circumstances and requirements.
Here is an example of a draft partnership deed between A and B:
This Partnership Deed is made on [DATE] by and between:
- A, whose full name is [A’s full name], of [A’s address]; and
