General Partnership Agreement | USA

Establish a general partnership with this comprehensive document template for USA partnerships.

This document serves as a comprehensive template for establishing a general partnership in the United States. It is designed to address key aspects of partnership formation, management, and dissolution, ensuring that all partners are aware of their rights and responsibilities under U.S. law.

Capital Contributions and Withdrawals

Any voluntary contributions or withdrawals of capital by a partner require the unanimous consent of all partners. This provision ensures that financial decisions impacting the partnership are agreed upon collectively, maintaining transparency and trust among the partners.

Division of Profits and Losses

All profits and losses generated by the partnership will be divided equally among the partners. This approach promotes fairness and equality, recognizing the shared efforts and contributions of each partner within the business.

Admission of New Partners

A new partner may only be admitted into the partnership if they match the initial capital contributions made by the existing partners. This requirement ensures that all partners have an equal financial stake in the business from the outset.

Dissolution of Partnership

The partnership will be dissolved under any of the following circumstances:

  • upon the death, disability, or voluntary withdrawal of a partner; or
  • if a partner fails to make a required capital contribution.

These conditions are set to protect the interests of the remaining partners and to provide clear guidelines for ending the partnership.

Non-Competition Agreement for Withdrawing Partners

Any partner who chooses to withdraw from the partnership must agree not to compete with the partnership. This non-competition clause is intended to safeguard the business and prevent conflicts of interest after a partner's departure.

Format and Jurisdiction

The template is available in Microsoft Word format for ease of editing and customization. It is governed by U.S. laws and is intended solely for use within the United States.
