Course Description
Initial partnership considerations go beyond registering the name, applying for identification numbers, and preparing the Articles of Organization. Key to the formation is a partnership agreement that spells out how day-to-day and sticky aspects of running a business are handled. Creating the partnership agreement and setting up the proper entity/structure for the partnership are the two most important steps in the partnership process.
Flexibility is a primary reason businesses select to operate as a partnership or LLC. Significant flexibility is allowed when initially funding the partnership. In addition to the known considerations, other key considerations are often overlooked. Transferring ownership and whether this right is unrestricted, payouts on the dissolution of the partnership, and the level at which capital accounts are required to be maintained should all be addressed at formation.
Partnerships have specific tax reporting requirements that are different from other businesses. Partnership taxes are a two-step process: The partnership as an entity must report income, gains, losses, credits, and deductions, like other businesses. However, partnerships don't pay taxes on the income. Instead, the partners pay taxes on their share of the partnership income they're paid.
