Description:
What is a limited partnership? A limited partnership is one in which at least one party is a general partner who assumes personal liabilities and is active in day to day management, and one silent partner, who has an investment interest but no involvement in management or company decisions. An example of the limited partnership is often found in the film business. The production company is usually a limited partnership where the producer(s) take the active management role while the silent partners are the private equity investors.
