General Features of Ontario Limited Partnerships
An Ontario limited partnership is a form of general partnership, which is one of three ways of organizing a business in Ontario.
There are four characteristics that distinguish a limited partnership from a general partnership:
- It is operated by a single general partner with unlimited liability, supported by other “limited partners.”
- The single general partner gets a bigger share of the earnings in exchange for increased contributions and risk.
- The limited partners contribute capital but cannot be involved in the company’s management.
- The liability of the limited partners is capped by the amount of capital they contribute.
General Features of Ontario Limited Partnerships
- Each Limited Partnership is required to have a legal name. The name must include a legal element, such as “Limited Partnership” or “LP”.
- LP Name cannot include a last name or a distinctive corporate name unless it is the last name or corporate name of one of the general partners.

- The name cannot include restricted words, such as “bank”, “trust”, “insurance”, “stock exchange”, “university”, “academy” , etc.
