A general partnership is a business structure in which two or more individuals share ownership, management, and profits of a business. Each partner is personally liable for the debts and obligations of the partnership, meaning their personal assets can be at risk. Decisions are typically made collectively, and the partnership operates under a partnership agreement that outlines each partner's roles and responsibilities. This structure allows for shared resources and expertise but also requires a high level of trust among partners.
