PARTNERSHIPS
Sole Trader
A person who alone:
a) has the right to make all decisions affecting the business;
b) owns all the assets of the business;
c) is responsible for paying income tax on all the profits of the business; and
d) has unlimited liability for the debts of the business.
There is no single piece of legislation which governs a business run by a sole trader

Partnership
Two or more persons who, on the basis of a contract (written or not) between them:
a) share the right to take part in making decisions which affect the business or the
business assets (although they may have agreed that one or more of their number
will not be involved in day-to-day matters but only in fundamental decisions);
b) share the ownership of the assets of the business (although they may have agreed
that the firm will use an asset which is owned by one of the partners individually);
c) share the profits of the business (although the partners may have agreed not to
share these equally); and
d) share unlimited liability for the debts of the business (although if one does not pay
then the others must pay his share)

Limited Partnership:
 form of unincorporated business is established under the Limited Partnerships Act
1907
 there must be at least one general partner who has unlimited liability for all the
debts of the partnership.
LPs must be registered with the Registrar of Companies (who also acts as the Registrar of
