GIBRALTAR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
A partnership may be created simply by execution of a deed by all the partners concerned or even by mutual verbal agreement. If the partnership has a place of business within Gibraltar it must register the name under which it carries on business with two authorities.
  • Within 14 days of commencement of business at the Registry of Companies and Business Names under the provisions of the Business Names (Registration) Ordinance
  • Within 3 months of commencement of business at the Employment and Training Board under the provisions of the Business Trades and Professions (Registration) Ordinance 1989
Limited partnerships are governed by the Limited Partnership Ordinance, which is based on the English Limited Partnership Act 1907. Partners may be individuals or companies.
A limited partnership consists of one or more general partners with unlimited liability, and one or more limited partners, who are liable only to the extent of their capital contributions. A limited partner does not take part in the management of the partnership and is not entitled to dissolve the partnership by notice. A limited partnership must file a statement with the Registrar of Companies giving details of general and limited partners, and the amounts of capital contributed, in order to benefit from limitation of liability. A limited partnership must have its principal place of business in Gibraltar.
