Are Business Partnership Agreements Required by Pennsylvania Law?
Pennsylvania businesses are not legally required to have a written partnership agreement.
However, if no written agreement exists, the partnership will be governed by Pennsylvania’s Uniform Partnership Act, which provides default rules for managing the partnership.
Even though a partnership agreement may not be legally required, it provides numerous benefits that cannot be overstated, including:
- Clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of each partner.
- Specifies how profits and losses will be shared.
- Outlines procedures for resolving disputes.
- Sets guidelines for adding or removing partners.
- Protects the interests of all partners and helps avoid misunderstandings.
Essentially, without a partnership agreement, the business’s decision-making will be in the hands of the state during a dispute, which may not serve the needs of any of the parties involved.
Do not leave your company, life’s work, and financial future to chance.
