ABSTRACT
Nigerian Economy is one of the vibrant economies in the world. Although the nation is still regarded as under developed country, but the rate of her involvement in international business cannot be neglected.
However, the economic progress and exploits can be attributed to the various forms of business formation available and practiced in Nigerian Economy. These range from; Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Joint Stock Company to Co-operatives. Among these forms of business establishments, Partnership Business is more predominant in the economy. The reason for this is obvious. Partnership as the name implies is an association of two or more persons carrying out business in common for the sake of profit maximization. This association can be a mixture of academic talents, money, skills, e.t.c of persons. This fusion of efforts and ideas undoubtedly creates room for business growth and success. One therefore cannot proceed to ask the question, “what are the benefits of this enterprise i.e. PARTNERSHIP?” or why do people establish it ?”
Meanwhile, as the researcher proceeds and advances in his research, these questions will receive their most appropriate answers. Also, vague ideas about partnership and its activities will be explained including its pre-historic era.
Above all, the effects and contributions of Business Partnership, which is the core of this research work will be outlined, with recommendations for its improvement, survival and continued growth.
