FAQs About BC Partnerships

What is a general partnership in BC?

A general partnership is a business arrangement where two or more people (or businesses) operate together and share profits and responsibilities. In BC, it’s commonly used when partners want a simple structure that can be registered under a partnership name.

How do I register a partnership in BC?

To register, you typically choose the correct partnership type, confirm the business name details (or register under the partners’ legal names where applicable), and file the partnership registration through the BC registry process. We can help prepare and submit the filing accurately and share the confirmation once it’s processed.

What is a limited partnership in BC?

A limited partnership (LP) is a structure with at least one general partner who manages the business and at least one limited partner who contributes capital and has limited liability (as long as they don’t take on management duties). It’s often used for investment or project-based businesses.

How do I dissolve a partnership in BC?

Dissolving a partnership usually involves completing the right registry filing, settling business obligations, and closing related accounts. The exact steps can vary depending on whether it’s a general partnership, LP, or LLP and how the partnership agreement is written.

How does a general partnership pay taxes in BC?

In many cases, the partnership itself doesn’t pay income tax as a separate entity. Instead, profits (or losses) are generally allocated to the partners, and each partner reports their share on their own tax return. Your situation can vary based on the partners and activities, so it’s smart to confirm the setup with an accountant.

What’s the difference between a General Partnership, LP, and LLP in BC?

A general partnership shares management and liability among partners, an LP separates managing general partners from passive limited partners, and an LLP is commonly used by eligible professional practices to limit certain liabilities while partners remain actively involved.

Do I need a partnership agreement in BC?

It’s not always legally required, but it’s strongly recommended. A written partnership agreement can outline ownership shares, roles, decision-making, profit splits, and what happens if a partner leaves—helping prevent disputes later.

Can I register a partnership in BC using a trade name?

Yes. If you want to operate under a name that’s different from the partners’ legal names (or different from the partnership’s registered name), you may register a trade name so your branding and business documents match how you operate.

Can non-residents register a partnership in BC?

Often, yes—eligibility can depend on what you’re registering and any extra requirements that may apply. If you’re outside Canada, we can help you choose the best path based on your situation. More info here: Non-Residents.
