Partnership Formation for a General Partnership in Singapore
A General Partnership has similar features as a sole proprietorship. The only difference is that there must be more than one (1) registered owners (i.e. partners) of the entity.
A General Partnership is not a recommended way of structuring you business in Singapore, primarily because each partner can be held liable for the actions of another partner. Typically, for an entrepreneur, forming a private limited company is the preferred option.
