    Study Notes

    Partnership Characteristics

    • Limited Life: Partnerships dissolve when a partner leaves or a new partner joins. Dissolution does not necessarily mean the business closes, it only means the existing partnership ends.
    • Unlimited Liability: Each partner is personally responsible for all the partnership's debts. This means creditors can pursue individual partners for the full amount of the debt, even if the partnership itself cannot pay.
