About this service

Register your partnership firm with the Registrar of Firms in your state, with a professionally drafted partnership deed and PAN for the firm. A partnership is one of the simplest and lowest-cost ways for two or more people to start a business together.

Our expert drafts the deed to suit your capital, profit sharing and roles, gets it notarised on the right stamp paper, applies for the firm’s PAN and files the registration for you. Book with just 50% advance and pay the balance later.

  • Partners must be competent to contract (adults of sound mind)

Frequently asked questions

Is registration of a partnership firm compulsory?+
Registration is optional in most states, but an unregistered firm cannot file a case in court to enforce its contracts against third parties. Registering is strongly recommended.
How many partners are needed?+
At least 2 and at most 50 partners.
Do partners have limited liability?+
No. In a partnership firm, partners are jointly and personally liable for the firm’s debts. If you need limited liability, consider an LLP.
Are stamp duty and government fees included?+
No. Stamp duty, notary and Registrar of Firms fees depend on your state and are charged at actual. We tell you the exact amount before filing.

Yes. Book with a 50% advance; we start drafting your deed right away and you pay the balance later from your dashboard.
