In the eyes of the law, by the very nature of entering business with another party, you may be considered a partnership -- whether you have a written agreement or not. A partnership agreement can be solidified by an oral agreement between partners, but experts recommend putting the terms down in writing. Once you have an idea for a company, whether this means selling a product or a service, understand the consequences of opting to become a partnership. The first step you need to take in forming a business partnership is to figure out who is in the partnership. Professional firms with 50 or more partners have extremely detailed agreements spelling out rigid procedures over who gets admitted, who signs the lease, the structure of the partnership, etc. If you are teaming up with someone else to perform services for a mutual client and do not wish to make that person your formal business partner, make sure the other person signs an agreement stating clearly that they are not your partner or agent. You notify the client in writing or by e-mail that you are NOT in partnership with that person. While this exercise is not mandatory, it is extremely helpful to ensure success of a partnership. Do this by making sure a suitable Internet domain name is available for your partnership, as most businesses these days should establish a website.
You will also need to register your partnership name with a local government, for which there is usually a modest fee. And while it is not required, it is often a good idea to gain legal protection for your partnership in the form of a trademark. A business partnership does not pay taxes on income. The partnership is a pass-through entity, and the individual partners pay tax on their distributive share of partnership income passed through to them. Each year, the partnership files a return, Form 1065, to report to the IRS the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits from the business. It also files a Schedule K-1 for each partner, allocating a share of each item of income, deductions, etc. according to the terms of the partnership agreement.
If the partnership is profitable, each partner must pay self-employment taxes on his or her net earnings. Instead, they can file a single Schedule C to report their share of business income and expenses. The most important thing to spell out in a partnership agreement is your "exit strategy" if things do not go as planned and you want to get out of the partnership.
