This book was perfect for our business. We recently dissolved the LLC for our eight year old business and replaced it with a partnership. For our purposes, a business owned by an husband and wife, we didn't have to go too deeply into how to handle adding and removing partners. Who has time to read a book when you're running a business right? We have no intention of bringing on new partners and we have equally contributed in terms of time and money. This book includes two very useful templates. The first one is a short form which you can complete in minutes in which you state who the partners are and when you will complete a full partnership agreement. The second template is for the full partnership agreement. The book takes you step by step to help you figure out how to fill out the template. Again, for simple partnerships like ours, you can skip over a lot of the book. In the short form I wrote that I'd complete the partnership by July. With this book I'm hoping I finish by June. But than again, I'm my own boss. So maybe I'll change it to August and give myself a raise while I'm at it : )

Over the years, I've used many different Nolo books. This was consistent with the rest of them. Clear writing, good structure. It's hard to wax poetic about a book on this topic, but it did the job well for me. Good luck with your partnership ventures.
