Such partnerships can also not have trade names, and they are not eligible for registration at the Registrar of Commerce.

  • Limited commercial partnerships – this is normally formed by a general partner and a silent partner. The general partner will be liable for the obligations and debts of the business and they will also have the decisional powers over the business. The silent partner, on the other hand, will be liable to the extent of their share contribution to the capital.
