A General Partnership (GP) is one of the simplest and fastest ways to launch a company in Florida when two or more individuals want to co-own and manage a business together. It’s flexible, easy to form, and allows you to start operations quickly — even without filing formal documents with the state.

At 100Services, we guide you through the process of forming a General Partnership in Florida, helping you avoid costly mistakes and setting you up for long-term success.

🤝 What Is a General Partnership in Florida?

A General Partnership is an unincorporated business structure where two or more individuals share:

  • Ownership
  • Management responsibilities
  • Profits and losses
  • Personal liability for business debts and obligations

Unlike LLCs or corporations, a GP does not require state-level registration. However, it’s highly recommended to file a partnership agreement, register a fictitious name (DBA) if needed, and apply for an EIN to operate legally and professionally.

📌 Key Features of a Florida General Partnership

✔️ Two or More Partners

A GP requires at least two individuals working together with a shared business goal. Each partner can contribute capital, time, skills, or resources, and each has the authority to act on behalf of the business.

✔️ Shared Liability

All general partners are personally liable for business debts and obligations — including contracts and lawsuits. This means each partner’s personal assets could be at risk if the business is sued or falls into debt.

✔️ No State Filing Required

You don’t have to register your GP with the Florida Division of Corporations. But if you want to operate under a trade name, open a bank account, or appear professional to clients, additional filings are essential — and that’s where we come in.

🛠 What’s Included in Our General Partnership Setup Package

We make forming your General Partnership easy, legal, and compliant — even though Florida doesn’t require formal registration. Our service includes everything you need to get started the right way:

✅ 2. EIN (Employer Identification Number) Registration

  • We apply for your EIN with the IRS — necessary to hire employees, open business bank accounts, and file partnership tax returns
  • Even if you don't have employees, an EIN is highly recommended for tax and banking purposes

✅ 3. Business License Guidance (Optional)

  • Identify which local, county, and state licenses or permits your partnership may need based on your industry
  • Ensure you meet all regulatory requirements to operate legally in Florida

✅ 4. Ongoing Compliance Support

Florida offers an excellent environment for launching any kind of business, and a General Partnership is no exception. Key benefits include:

  • ⚡ Fast and easy formation — no complex paperwork required to start

⚠️ What Are the Risks of a General Partnership?

While GPs are flexible and straightforward, they do carry risks:

  • Each partner is personally liable for business debts, lawsuits, and legal judgments
  • One partner’s actions (including mistakes) can legally bind the entire partnership
  • Without a written agreement, disputes can escalate quickly, damaging the business and relationships

FAQ

A General Partnership (GP) in Florida is a simple business structure formed when two or more individuals agree to operate a business together. Unlike corporations or LLCs, a GP doesn’t require formal registration with the state to exist. However, all partners share equal responsibility and liability, meaning each partner is personally responsible for the business’s debts and obligations. It’s a cost-effective and flexible way to start a business, especially for those who trust each other and want a fast launch. At 100Services, we help you set up your partnership professionally with the right documents and filings.

To start a GP in Florida, all you technically need is an agreement between two or more people to run a business and share profits. However, to operate legally and professionally, you should:

  • Draft a partnership agreement
  • File a fictitious name (DBA) if operating under a business name
  • Get an EIN for tax purposes
  • Apply for necessary business licenses

At 100Services, we streamline this process for you and ensure that your partnership starts on solid legal footing.

No, Florida law doesn’t require you to file a partnership agreement to form a GP. However, having one is strongly recommended. A written agreement helps outline the responsibilities of each partner, how profits and losses are shared, how decisions are made, and what happens if a partner leaves. Without one, the business could face serious internal disputes. We provide a custom partnership agreement template for Florida as part of our setup service, tailored to your needs.

Yes, if your partnership operates under any name other than the full legal names of the partners, you must file a fictitious name registration, also known as a DBA (Doing Business As). This registration is required by the Florida Division of Corporations and is essential for opening bank accounts, signing contracts, and building brand trust. 100Services will conduct a name search and file the DBA for you, making the process easy and fast.

While it's not always mandatory, most General Partnerships in Florida need an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS, especially if you:

  • Have employees
  • Want to open a business bank account
  • File partnership tax returns (Form 1065)

Using an EIN instead of a partner’s Social Security Number also adds a layer of security and professionalism. At 100Services, we handle EIN registration for you as part of your partnership setup.

The licenses required for a GP depend on the business type and location. Most cities and counties in Florida require a local business tax receipt, and some industries need special state permits or certifications (like construction, food service, or cosmetology). Even home-based businesses often require local approval. We help you identify which business licenses and permits are needed and guide you through the application process — saving time and avoiding penalties.

The biggest risk is personal liability. All general partners are equally liable for debts and legal obligations — including those caused by another partner’s actions. If the business is sued or cannot pay its debts, personal assets like your home, savings, or car could be at risk. That’s why having a written partnership agreement and clear roles is critical. If you're concerned about liability, 100Services can also help you convert to an LLC later for stronger protection.

100Services offers the best conditions for starting a General Partnership in Florida. We:

  • Help you understand the structure and legal responsibilities
  • Provide a custom Florida partnership agreement template
  • Register your DBA (fictitious name) correctly
  • Apply for your EIN and assist with licensing
  • Offer ongoing support and compliance reminders

Our services are fast, affordable, and entirely online — making it easy for two or more entrepreneurs to launch a business together with confidence.
