Question
State FOUR features of a Limited Partner.
Answer
Four features of a Limited Partner are:
- Limited Liability: A limited partner’s liability is restricted to the amount of capital they have invested in the partnership. They are not personally liable for the debts of the partnership beyond their investment.
- No Management Role: A limited partner is not involved in the day-to-day management of the partnership business. They have no authority to bind the partnership.
- Profit Sharing: A limited partner shares in the profits of the partnership based on their investment, but their involvement in decision-making is minimal.
- Loss of Limited Liability if Active: If a limited partner participates in the management of the partnership, they may lose their limited liability status and be treated as a general partner with unlimited liability.
