What are the different types of partnerships?

General Partnership: In a general partnership, all partners share unlimited liabilities. This means that each partner is personally responsible for all debts and obligations of the partnership, including those incurred by other partners.

Limited Partnership: In a limited partnership, there are two types of partners: general partners and limited partners. General partners have unlimited liability, while limited partners have liability limited to the amount they have invested in the partnership.

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): An LLP is a type of partnership that provides limited liability to all its partners. This means that partners are not personally liable for debts and obligations of the partnership.

Limited Liability Limited Partnership (LLLP): An LLLP is a hybrid legal structure that combines features of both limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships. It provides limited liability to all its partners, and it allows partners to choose how they want to be taxed (as a partnership or as a corporation).

Joint Venture: A joint venture is a temporary partnership formed for a specific project or undertaking. Joint ventures are often used for large-scale projects that require the expertise and resources of multiple businesses.
