No, a limited partnership (LP) and a limited liability partnership (LLP) are not the same. In an LP, there are general partners who manage the business and have unlimited liability, while limited partners have limited liability but typically do not participate in management. In contrast, an LLP allows all partners to have limited liability, protecting them from personal liability for the partnership's debts and obligations, and typically all partners can participate in management. Thus, the key differences lie in liability and management roles.
Uniform Partnership Act (UPA).
A general partnership differs from a limited partnership primarily in the level of liability and management involvement of the partners. In a general partnership, all partners share equal responsibility for the management and debts of the business, exposing them to unlimited personal liability. In contrast, a limited partnership includes both general partners, who manage the business and are fully liable, and limited partners, who contribute capital but have limited involvement and liability. This structure allows limited partners to invest without risking their personal assets beyond their investment in the partnership.
Management disagreements in a partnership often arise from differing visions, strategies, and decision-making approaches among partners. Conflicts can stem from unequal contributions, varying levels of commitment, or disagreements over financial management and profit distribution. Effective communication and clearly defined roles are essential to mitigate these issues, as is a well-structured partnership agreement that outlines conflict resolution processes. If left unresolved, such disagreements can lead to strained relationships and potentially jeopardize the partnership's success.

When all partners in a partnership are limited partners, the partnership is classified as a limited partnership. In this structure, limited partners contribute capital but have limited liability and are not involved in day-to-day management. Their liability is typically restricted to the amount they invested in the partnership. This arrangement allows for passive investment while protecting personal assets from business debts.
One advantage of a partnership over a corporation is that partnerships have simpler and more flexible management structures, allowing partners to make decisions more quickly and easily.
