A limited partnership is similar to a general partnership; however, there are two types of partners instead of one. The two types of partners in a limited partnership are:
General partners are partners who manage the business and have the same risks and liabilities as partners in a general partnership.
Limited partners are partners who contribute only money to the business and do not participate in managing it. Limited partners have limited liability for the business's debts and are usually at risk only for their initial investment. Typically if the business does well the limited partners would receive cash payouts.
In a limited partnership it is possible for a partner to be both a limited and general partner. However, you must have at least one general partner and one limited partner. It is also possible for a corporation to be a general partner in a limited partnership.
Our 15-page attorney-drafted agreement covers the following topics:
Probably the most important benefit of a California limited partnership is the limited partner(s) have limited liability as long as they do not participate in managing or controlling of the business. There is also less paperwork with an ("LP") as opposed to a Corporation or LLC. This has made the limited partnership a popular business structure for some investors and venture capitalists.
