Illustration for Limited Partnerships Act 2008

In a limited partnership, you have a general partner who is in charge of managing the partnership. This person is responsible for making decisions about how the partnership is run. They might also put some of their own money into the partnership, but they do not have to do this unless the partnership agreement says they must.
