• Partnership Firm, registered under the partnership firm act, is a structure where the founders are subject to a partnership deed with the conditions outlined and registered with the registrar of firms. Under this structure, the partners have unlimited liability, which means they are personally liable for the debts of the business. However, low costs, ease of setting up, and minimal compliance requirements make it the easier option for businesses that are unlikely to take on any debt.
