Form of Business Organization Santool Partnership will adapt a general partnership form of business. A partnership is an organization where two or more persons bind themselves to contribute money, property or industry to a common fund with the intention of dividing the profits among themselves. General partnership is composed of general partners or a combination of general and industrial partners. They are personally liable for the partnerships debt after exhaustion of its assets. They assume unlimited liability.

Management Aspect

Profits and losses sharing must be divided to all the partners in accordance with the proportion of their contribution. Commitment and cooperation from every partner is necessary for the success of operation of the business. More works done by a partner is compensated upon agreement by the partners such as an addition to the Monthly Salary in the profits. The partners may neither withdraw cash nor other assets from the business without the express written permission of the other partners, also, no partner is allowed to use the funds or property of the partnership on his or her own benefit. Advantages of partnership as an organization: 1. Easy formation- mere agreement or mutual understanding by the partners may organize a partnership. 2. Joint resources- a partnership provides an opportunity to pool the abilities, experiences, and resources of two or more persons. 3. Less government supervision- generally, partnerships receive less government regulation than corporations do. 4. Utilization of strengths of individuals- as compared to a sole proprietorship, a partnership has more individuals contributing to the operations. 5. Great borrowing capacity- each partner may avail individual credit than that of a sole proprietorship
