PARTNERSHIP FIRM REGISTRATION (RoF)

A partnership firm is a widely used and straightforward business structure where two or more individuals come together to run a business, sharing profits according to an agreed-upon ratio. This model is flexible, making it suitable for various trades, occupations, and professions. Partnership firms are favored for their simplicity and lower regulatory burden compared to corporations, offering an efficient solution for collaborative business ventures.

In India, partnership firms are governed by the Indian Partnership Act of 1932. The individuals who form a partnership firm are known as partners, and their collaboration is formalized through a partnership deed, which outlines the terms of their agreement, including profit-sharing ratios and roles within the business.
