Section 1 b of the partnership Act (1980) defines a partnership as “The relation which subsists between person carrying on business in common with a view of profit”. It is however the joining together of two or more person in a business, each of whom is personally responsible for the growth of the firm (Lipsey, 1978). One of he ways by which the sole proprietor can expand his business is to turn it into partnership. It enable “new blood” to be introduced into the business and make possible an increase in capital (Hanson, 1976). A partnership ahs greater continuity of existence, partners have equal power and responsibilities, and each is jointly liable with the other partners for all debts and obligation of the firm and a partner can make a contract which is binding on his co-partners (Lipsey 1978).
