Business Name Registration - Partnership
A partnership is created when 2 or more individuals, or 2 or more corporations, do business together as partners. All partners share in the profits and the risks or debts of the business.
Registering a partnership does not grant any right of ownership of the business name or prevent others from operating a business using the exact same name. However it does provide proof that the business owner(s) operates the business under this trade name from a certain date.
