A Partnership Firm is a business structure where two or more individuals come together to manage and operate a business based on a mutual agreement. Unlike a sole proprietorship, a partnership firm allows multiple people to share responsibilities, profits, and risks. It is governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 and is widely used by small and medium-sized enterprises.
