Illustration for Limited Partnerships Act 2008

A limited partnership can do lots of things, just like any other business. You can think of it like a company that can carry on any business or activity, do any act, or enter into any transaction, as long as it follows the law. It has all the rights, powers, and privileges it needs to do these things, both in New Zealand and outside of New Zealand, as stated in the Limited Partnerships Act 2008 and other laws.
