Exclamation Partnership

It is rare that a person combines in himself all that is essential to make him a successful businessman. Besides, the reap the economics of large-scale operation, a sole proprietor may fail to cope up with the demands of expansion. He may possess adequate capital but he may be handicapped by the lack of experience, skill and managerial, ability. Or it may be other way round. Therefore, a combination of two or more persons, some having capital and others having skill or experience proves to be beneficial.
According to Section 4 of the Indian Partnership Act of 1932, partnership is defined as, "The relation between persons, who having agreed to share profits of a business carried on by all or any one of them acting for all.

The above definitions reveals that:
1. An agreement between the partners is necessary.

2. The agreement must be in regard to the sharing of the profits of the business.

3. The business must be carried on by all or any one of them acting for all.

1. Large Amount of Capital

In sole proprietorship, the amount of capital is limited to the personal fortune and credit of one individual. In partnership, the capital can easily be raised according to the requirements by bringing in additional workers.

3. Personal Interest

Since each general partner is responsible not only for his own act but also for the acts of his partners, he shall devote his personal attention and interest to the activities of the firm, and this will enable a firm to attain maximum efficiency.

4. High Credit Standing

A partnership has little difficulty in obtaining credit, especially if the partners have their personal wealth. If there are several partners and one or more have extensive private means, creditors have little reason to doubt that the debts of the partnership will be paid in full.

5. Ease of Formation

Disadvantages of Partnership

1. Divided Control / Delay in Decision Making

In partnership, more than one person is involved in every decision reached. If the partners are not active in operation, it may necessary to delay the making of important decisions.

2. Frozen or Blocked Investment

For an individual who to invest some money in business, the partnership form may prove to be a poor investment from the view-point of liquidity and transferability. It is correct to say that it is easy to invest money but is difficult to withdraw it, because it would mean the termination of business.

3. Limitation on Size

Since the maximum number of partners is 20, it might be possible that at some time the capital becomes short. If it happens, the business has to be converted into a Joint Stock Company. Therefore, a big business cannot be started even if they get a chance to expand it, because the capital of 20 persons may not be sufficient.

5. No Legal Entity

Law does not recognize a partnership as an organization having an entity or existence separate from the partners who comprise it.

Memorandum of Association
The first thing in the formation of a Joint Stock Company is the preparation of the Memorandum of Association. It is a document, which sets out the constitution of the company and as such, is really the foundation on which the structure of the company rests. That is why this document has often been called the charter of the company in its relation to the outside world. The document is prepared by the promoters of the company. The memorandum of Association must contain the following clauses:

1. Name Clause

In this clause the full name of the company is shown and the last word of the name of the company must be limited. The company can adopt any name but there are certain restrictions and the words like ROYAL, IMPERIAL, EMPIRE and ESTATE etc cannot be used without the special permission of the Government.

2. Object Clause

This clause is quite important and must be very carefully drafted as it determines the activities of the company. In the object clause each and every detail of activities of the business to be carried out must be laid down. Once the object clause is completed, it become very difficult to make any amendment. The value of the shares, the allotment money must be given in detail.

3. Situation Clause

This act provides that the company must have a registered office so that the registrar may be able to send notice etc. to the Company at the registered office.

4. Liability Clause

A declaration that shares holder's liability is limited.

5. Capital Clause

This clause must contain a statement as to the amount of capital with which the company proposes to be registered and the division there of into shares at a certain fixed amount.

Articles of Association
This is another important document, which must be prepared and filed with the Registrar of the companies. The Article of Association contains rules and regulations regarding the internal working and management of the company. It defines the powers, rights and duties of Directors, shareholders and the other officers of the company. The purpose of the Article of Association is to carry out the objects set out in the Memorandum. The Memorandum limits the jurisdiction beyond which the Article of Association cannot go. The Article of Association states how the general meetings are to be held, how the voting is to be transferred, and how they are to be forfeited, how the accounts are to be kept etc. If a company does not prepare its Article of Association, it can adopt of Table A of Companies Ordinance.

The articles must be properly drafted, serially numbered and printed and then filed with the Registrar of the Joint Stock Companies. The article must be signed by the subscribers and witnessed as in the case of Memorandum. It is usual to print the Memorandum and the Article in one booklet, as the company is required to provide the copies to members on request. The articles can be altered at any time by special resolution.

In business there are many type of that organisation. Like partnership , joint stock , proprietorship and many more like this. Generally in first days through partnership company makes the lot of profit. But then after partners can not work together and this way the partnership ended and organisation goes in loss. So how one can overcome from this situation or what one can do to manage the partnership.
