Features of General Partnership Business Name Registration

Legal Recognition and Protection: A registered business name provides legal recognition, allowing you to operate under a formal name.
It ensures that you have exclusive rights to use the name, protecting your business identity from being used by others.
Ownership and Full Control: The owner(s) of the business have full control over decision-making. Control is shared among the partners (a General Partnership can have up to 20 partners).
No Separate Legal Entity: Unlike a company, a business name does not create a separate legal entity. The business and its owner(s) are considered one in the eyes of the law, meaning owners are personally liable for any debts incurred by the business.
Partnership Agreement: Not legally required but recommended to define roles, profit-sharing, dispute resolution, and procedures for adding or removing partners.
Annual Compliance Requirement: Registered businesses must file annual returns with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to maintain their active status and legal compliance.
Business Name Conversion: A business name can be converted into a Private Limited Company (LTD) or other types of entities if the need arises for a more complex structure in the future.
Taxation: Tax in Sole Proprietors and Partners are applied to the personal income of the owner(s).
