A partnership firm, a traditional business registration, involves two or more individuals collaborating to run a business and share its profits or losses. It's a straightforward option for MSMEs where partners decide to start a business together, sharing its gains or losses. Established in India in 1932, under the Partnership Act, this entity requires minimal compliances. Initially, it was the primary form of registration available for partners. In 2010, the LLP Act introduced Limited Liability Partnership for two or more persons seeking limited liability.
