Partnership formation refers to the process by which partners establish a business partnership, which typically involves the agreement on the contributions of capital or assets by each partner, the allocation of profits, losses, and draws, as well as the responsibilities and decision-making authority within the business entity. This foundational stage also includes the creation of a partnership agreement that governs the terms and operations of the partnership.
