What is a Partnership Firm?

A Partnership Firm is a business entity formed when two or more people agree to manage and operate a business while sharing profits and responsibilities.

Unlike a Private Limited Company or LLP, a Partnership Firm is not a separate legal entity, meaning the partners are personally responsible for business liabilities. However, it remains a popular business structure due to its ease of setup and minimal legal formalities.

Best suited for:

• Small and medium-sized businesses.
• Family businesses or professional firms.
• Service-based enterprises (law firms, consultancies, financial advisors).
• Traders, retailers, and wholesalers.

At Calzone, we simplify the entire registration process, ensuring that your firm is legally compliant and ready to operate.

Why Should You Register a Partnership Firm?

Although Partnership Firm registration is not mandatory, it is highly recommended as a registered firm enjoys multiple legal benefits:

• Legal Protection - A registered firm can sue or be sued in its own name, providing credibility and security.
• Business Credibility - Banks, financial institutions, and clients trust registered firms more than unregistered ones.
• Tax Benefits & Compliance - A registered firm is eligible for tax deductions, GST benefits, and other government incentives.
• Smooth Dispute Resolution - Any disagreement between partners can be legally resolved through the terms outlined in the Partnership Deed.

At Calzone, we ensure that your Partnership Firm registration is done the right way, helping you maximize its legal and financial benefits.

Documents Required for Partnership Firm Registration

• Application for registration of the partnership firm (Form 1).

• Affidavit confirming the accuracy of details in the Partnership Deed.
• PAN Card & Address Proof of all partners.
• Proof of the principal place of business (Rental Agreement, Ownership Deed, or Utility Bill).

Once these documents are submitted, the Registrar of Firms verifies them and issues a Partnership Firm Registration Certificate.

Calzone handles all document verification and filing, ensuring fast approval.
