Note to the Legal Form  

 

A General Partnership in Jordan may be formed by a minimum of two and a maximum of twenty natural persons. The partners assume unlimited personal liability for the debt of the partnership jointly and severally amongst themselves. Creditors may claim the debts from either the company as a separate legal entity or from the general partners. Each partner is entitled to take part in the management of the partnership, although the partnership agreement normally provides for its authorised representative and signatory.

 

There are no legal requirements concerning the amount of capital of a general partnership. The shares of each partner, presented in cash, kind or rights, must not be issued in the form of negotiable instruments, nor can they be transferred or assigned without the unanimous approval of the partners unless the memorandum specifically provides otherwise.
