Key clauses

  • Capital contributions by each partner
  • Profit and loss sharing
  • Roles and responsibilities
  • Decision making and bank signatories
  • Admission of new partners
  • Exit and buyout terms
  • Death or incapacity of a partner
  • Dispute resolution

Registration

Partnerships can register a business name with URSB. Consider forming a company if you want limited liability.
