Types of Companies and Commercial Enterprises

Partnerships

General Partnership A general partnership is a type of partnership where all partners are equally responsible for the company's debts and obligations. In this type of partnership, each partner has personal liability for the company's debts and obligations. The company's existence relies heavily on the personal relationships among the partners, such as family ties or friendships. The company is typically dissolved upon the death, incapacity, or withdrawal of any partner. Additionally, a partner cannot transfer their share in the company without the consent of all other partners. Limited Partnership A limited partnership consists of at least one general partner who has unlimited liability and one or more limited partners who have liability limited to their investment in the partnership. The general partners are responsible for managing the company and bearing personal liability for its debts, while the limited partners do not participate in management and have liability restricted to their contributions. Hidden Partnership A hidden partnership is a type of partnership that exists solely among the partners and is not recognized by third parties. It does not have legal personality, does not require a formal capital investment, and does not have a company address. The hidden partnership is essentially a covert arrangement that operates in secrecy, and its existence is only acknowledged among the partners themselves. In summary, the three types of partnerships are: 1. General Partnership: All partners share personal liability and responsibility for the company’s debts. 2. Limited Partnership: Consists of general partners with unlimited liability and limited partners with liability restricted to their investment. 3. Hidden Partnership: Exists only among the partners without formal recognition or legal personality. Required Documents for (Limited Partnership / General Partnership): • Dated Lease Agreement: A lease agreement that is dated and registered with the Notary Public. • Recent Utility Bill: A recent utility bill as proof of address. • Original Valid National ID Card: The original, valid national identification card for all partners. • Power of Attorney for Company Formation: A power of attorney document signed by all partners authorizing the establishment of the company. • Minimum Capital Requirement: None.

Limited Partnership by Shares

A limited partnership by shares consists of two types of partners: • Limited Partners: These partners are only liable up to the amount of their contributions, which are represented by transferable shares similar to those in joint stock companies. • General Partners: These partners are subject to the same responsibilities as general partners in general partnerships and simple limited partnerships. They are considered traders, and their liability is unlimited, covering all their personal assets. General partners are responsible for managing the company. In summary, a limited partnership by shares combines elements of both types of partnerships: limited partners with limited liability and transferable shares, and general partners with unlimited liability and management responsibilities. Required Documents: • Valid National ID card Copies: Copies of valid national ID cards for all partners (at least 2 partners). • Power of Attorney for Company Formation: Powers of attorney from all partners authorizing the establishment of the company. • Dated Lease Agreement: A lease agreement that is dated and registered with the Notary Public. • Minimum Capital Requirement: None.

Single Member Company

A Single Member Company represents one of the most significant amendments to company law, as part of the broader overhaul of economic legislation. It was introduced in Chapter 4, Section 2 of the Companies Law under the title "Single Member Company" to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurship. Characteristics of a Single Member Company: • Limited Liability: The liability of the company is limited to the capital provided by its sole owner, meaning the owner's personal assets are not at risk beyond the amount invested in the company.
