Set Up Limited partnership (SECS)

A limited partnership (SECS) is a marketing business concern. It necessitates at least two companions, namely one joint partner and a regulated partner. The 2 companions have, unlike levels of liability:

  • The usual companion has mutual and several liabilities for the commitments of the company.
  • The restricted companion is only liable up to the level of his contributions.

You can easily use SECS for all types of businesses.

The difference between the 2 types of companions has two advantages. These are:

  • Usual companions to develop the capital of business marketing without diluting their forces;
  • Restricted companions to support a company outside the unlimited risks.

Therefore, it is especially interesting for young entrepreneurs with innovative plans who want financial help from other persons, including entrepreneurs that have the ambition to invest in a company while limiting their liability. Also possible in small and medium-sized family businesses (transfer to a minor heir is achievable).

  • No ceiling contribution capital;
  • The suggestion in the laws of the company of the content of the share capital or the degree of the contributions created or to be created by each usual or restricted partner;
  • contribution capital: contributions in cash, in kind, or in services (author’s report is not necessary);
  • Restricted partner:
    • Contributions form part of the contribution capital;
    • required not to be made at the period of forming ( a commitment impossible to change is adequate)
