Best Answer

A partnership is a different legal entity than a corporation. Therefore, literally speaking a corporation cannot be a partner in another corporation because corporations don't have partners. A corporation can be a security holder in another corporation. For example, a corporation that owns all of another corporation would be the "parent company," and the owned corporation would be a "wholly-owned subsidiary."

Please note, at least here in the US, two corporations can form a partnership and it is not limited to actual people. There are some situations when this is advantageous over just forming a joint venture.

Difference between partnership and public limited company?

A partnership is a legal term to define a joint venture of 2 or more persons. In a partnership all of the partners are jointly and severally liable for any losses. In this type of arrangement each partner can be forced to pay for all of any debts. They would then have the option of going after the other partners for their pro-rata share of the debt. In a limited partnership the only entity liable for the debts is the "general partner". The general partner can be either a person or another partnership or corporation. In a corporation the corporation is the only entity liable for debts. The owners are not liable. The corporation is a fictional "person" in the eyes of the law.
