Company Formation Home Page >> Incorporating in Delaware and Forming Delaware LLCs >> Limited Partnership FormationsSETTING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP IN DELAWARE. ESTABLISH LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Which business structure is right for you? What about an LP (Limited Partnership)? LPs have far more complex formation requirements than a regular partnership. A LP requires at least one general partner, who is fully responsible for partnership obligations and normal business operations, and at least one limited partner, often an investor, who is not involved in everyday operations and is shielded from liability for partnership obligations beyond the amount of their investment. Like a regular partnership, LPs do not pay tax, but must file a return for informational purposes. LP partners report their share of profits and losses on their personal income tax returns.
Definition of Limited Partnership. Choosing the entity that best suits your business and personal needs is an important decision and should not be taken lightly. Legal and tax advantages as well as disadvantages exist for each entity. It is strongly suggested that new business owners consult with both a tax accountant and an attorney to aid in making a proper decisions. A limited partnership (LP) consists of two or more persons, with at least one general partner and one limited partner. While a general partner in an LP has unlimited personal liability, a limited partner's liability is limited to the amount of his or her investment in the company. LP's are creatures of statute since they must file with the state to form them. Because of the limited liability of limited partnerships, they often are used as vehicles for raising capital. The limited partnership is a separate entity and files taxes as a separate entity. The statute that provided for the formation of limited partnerships was the Uniform Limited Partnership Act (ULPA), which dates back to 1916. In 1976, ULPA was revised into the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (RULPA), which was amended in 1985 to address the issue of limited partners' taking control. RULPA states that a limited partner shall not be liable as a general partner unless he or she takes control of the business. However, a limited partner is not considered to control the business if he or she is a member of the board of directors.
In order to form a limited partnership, 1 or more persons (but not less than all of the general partners) must execute a certificate of limited partnership. The certificate of limited partnership shall be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State and set forth: The name of the limited partnership; The address of the registered office and the name and address of the registered agent for service of process required to be maintained by § 17-104 of this title; The name and the business, residence or mailing address of each general partner; and any other matters the partners determine to include therein. A limited partnership is formed at the time of the filing of the initial certificate of limited partnership in the Office of the Secretary of State or at any later date or time specified in the certificate of limited partnership if, in either case, there has been substantial compliance with the requirements of this section. A limited partnership formed under this chapter shall be a separate legal entity, the existence of which as a separate legal entity shall continue until cancellation of the limited partnership's certificate of limited partnership.

Because the general partner is exposed to unlimited personal liability, LP's sometimes are set up so that the general partner is a corporation or an LLC.
Distinctions Between Limited Partnerships and General Partnerships: Three distinctions between limited partnerships and general partnerships are: LP's are created by statute, not by intentions of the partners. Ability to override the partnership agreement. Tax treatment - a limited partnership normally has pass-through taxation, but must meet certain criteria to avoid being taxed as a corporation.
Limited Partnerships Taxation. As in a general partnership, income can be allocated each year among the partners in a way that minimizes taxes. If the limited partnership meets a minimum number of criteria related to limited liability, centralized management, duration, and transferability of ownership, it can enjoy the benefits of pass-through taxation; otherwise it will be taxed as a corporation.
Advantages of Limited Partnership. LPs provide a legal structure to the establishment of the business. From a capital investment standpoint, limited partners are shielded from the liability in that their liability is dependent upon the amount of capital invested. In addition, dividends distributed to all partners are reported on the partners' personal income tax return. There are no restrictions as to the amount of dividends that the general partners may receive from the business. General partners of a LP may be in the form of another person or company (!).As a separate legal entity, LP's may own property, sue, and be sued in LP's name.
 Limited Partnerships in Delaware. Limited partnership and domestic limited partnership mean a partnership formed by 2 or more persons under the laws of the State of Delaware and having 1 or more general partners and 1 or more limited partners, and includes, for all purposes of the laws of the State of Delaware, a limited liability limited partnership. Limited partnership may carry on any lawful business, purpose or activity, whether or not for profit, with the exception of the business of granting policies of insurance, or assuming insurance risks or banking.
Except as provided in the partnership agreement, a partner may lend money to, borrow money from, act as a surety, guarantor or endorser for, guarantee or assume 1 or more specific obligations of, provide collateral for and transact other business with, the limited partnership and, subject to other applicable law, has the same rights and obligations with respect thereto as a person who is not a partner.

| The advantages of a Delaware limited partnership include the tax advantages that a limited partnership possesses under federal and State of Delaware income tax law.
The freedom of contract principles of Delaware's business statutes.
The ease of forming a limited partnership under the Act and the protections contained in the Act relating to the liability of limited partners.
A limited partnership is a partnership consisting of two classes of partners, general partners and limited partners.
A general partner has general liability for all partnership debts, and he has the responsibility and authority to manage partnership business.
The general partner controls the partnership’s investments, distributions, and other business decisions.
A limited partner has an investment interest in the partnership, and he plays a passive role in partnership business.
An individual can be both a general partner and a limited partner in an LP.
An LP interest and a membership interest in an LLC are both intangible property and both types of interest are assignable and transferable subject to restrictions of the LP agreement.
Asset protection is available by virtue of the limited procedural remedy given to creditors to levy upon a debtor limited partner's.

You may choose to join forces with one or more other people to own and operate your business, as a partnership, in legal terms. A partnership is a contractual relationship in which two or more persons carry on a business, sharing the potential for financial loss as well as the potential for earning a profit. While it's possible to begin a partnership without having any kind of formal, written agreement between the partners, doing so is a very bad idea. In a partnership, the actions of one of the partners is legally binding on all the other partners in the business. If you don't have a written agreement which sets out the limits to what each partner can do, you could be faced with paying off debts incurred without your knowledge or approval by one of your partners. By having a written partnership agreement, you can set out the duties and rights of each of the partners. With a written agreement, you can also provide for the way in which the partnership's profits will be split, how a partner can sell or transfer his interest in the partnership to another, and what will happen to the partnership's assets if the partners decide to end the business. A partnership is considered a separate entity by the Internal Revenue Service, and is required to file an annual tax return. But the partnership doesn't pay taxes; each partner reports his share of the partnership's profits on his individual tax return.
There are 4 types of partnerships:
General partnership: in which each of the partners has personal responsibility for all debts and liabilities of the business; and each partner is authorized to sign contracts and carry on all the business of the partnership, and each partner faces full legal liability for all its debts.
Limited partnership: which requires filing with the state but allows the partners who are not active in managing the business - the 'limited partners' - to be protected from personal liability for the partnership debts. At least one general partner is responsible for the management of the business activities of the partnership. The other partners, called limited partners, play no management role, but act merely as investors. As a result, the limited partners are not exposed to financial liability beyond the amount they have invested in the partnership. Most states have adopted the Uniform Limited Partnership Act to regulate the way limited partnerships operate. For example, the Act limits the kind of investment a limited partner can make to cash or property; personal services cannot be considered as an investment in the partnership. Most states require limited partnerships to disclose the nature of the partnership to the public, such as by using the letters 'LTD' after the business name.
Limited liability partnership: - similar to limited liability company (LLC), limited liability partnerships (LLPs) are organized under state law and offer a degree of liability protection for individual partners. For Federal tax purposes, limited liability partnerships follow the same entity classification rules as Limited Liability Company. A limited liability partnership may elect to be treated as a corporation by filing Form 8832. If no election is made, the limited liability partnership is treated as a partnership and files Form 1065. The limited liability partnership is essentially a general partnership in form, with one important difference. Unlike a general partnership, in which individual partners are liable for the partnership's debts and obligations, an LLP provides each of its individual partners protection against personal liability for certain partnership liabilities.
Family limited partnership: a less common type of arrangement in which family relationship exists among the general and limited partners. There can be significant tax benefits with this type of partnership.
Unless you make the appropriate state filings and follow the laws regarding limited partnerships, a partnership will be treated as a general partnership.
