In partnership, company are claimed and keep running by individual accomplices who are actually and together in charge of the activities of their kindred accomplices which somewhat represents the significance of a partnership assention or deed .

Proprietorships have three advantages: they are easy and inexpensive to form, subject to few regulations, and no corporate income taxes. The disadvantages are difficult to raise capital, unlimited liability and limited life. Partnership are similar to proprietorships in that they can be stablished relatively easily and inexpensively. The partners are generally subject to unlimited personal liability, this makes it difficult for partnerships to raise large amount of capital. Corporation also have unlimited lives, and easy transfer of ownership, limited liability and ease of raising capital to operate larger businesses. The disadvantages are double taxation, the corporation’s earnings are taxed; and then when its after-tax earnings are paid out as dividends, those earnings are taxed again as personal income to the stockholders. Limited liability reduces the risks endure by investors; and other things held constant, the lower the firm’s risk, the higher its

For the purpose of clarity, the two questions will be referred to as Case I and Case II respectively and will be answered in two parts by applying principles stated in the Partnership Act namely; Section 8, Section 9, Section 39 along with its sub-sections, and common law cases that are relevant depending on the circumstances.

What has been said with regard to the partnership name when dealing with the partnership en nom collectif applies also to the characteristics of the partnership en commandite. In addition Article 53 of the Act states that “a person who holds himself out as being a general partner shall be held liable unlimitedly and jointly and severally with the general partners for all the obligations contracted by the partnership.” Therefore, if a partner makes believe that he is a general partner, then he will be treated as such. Furthermore, Article 53(2) of the Act provides that “the inclusion in the partnership name of the name of a person who is not a partner shall be taken into account by the Court in determining whether such person is holding himself out as being a partner." Therefore the partnership name can only include the name of the general partner, otherwise if a limited person added his name, he would be deemed to be holding himself out as being a general partner.

The dictionary of the Partnership Act 1891 (Qld) defines a business as “including every trade, occupation and profession”. The term ‘carrying on business” can be determined by looking at precedent see Smith v Anderson 18802, in this case the court found “The expression ‘carrying on’ implies a repetition of acts or transactions. The next issue to determine is the phrase ‘in common with a view to profit”. To break this down we look for the definition
