1.0       INTRODUCTION

1.1    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

          SECTION 1 (1)  of the partnership act (1890) defines a partnership as the relation which subsists between person carrying on business in common with view of profit.  It is however the joining together of two or more person in a business each of whom is personally responsible for the growth of Firm (Lipsey 1978) Thus are of the ways by which  the sole proprietor can expand his business is to turn it into partnership.

          It enable “now blood” to be introduced into the business and make possible an increase in capital (Hanson 1976).  A partnership has greater continuity of existence partners have equal power and responsible and each is jointly liable with the others partners for all debts and obligations of the firm and a partners can make a contract which is binding on his Co-partners  (Lipsey 1978)  However it would Obviously be most unwise to enter into partnership with anyone unless convinced of his integrity.  Judgement and business acumen.  Trust is not only verbal trust but also a written deed of partnership which makes it easier to prove the terms of partnership in case of any dispute.

          Furthermore, selection 19 of the companies and Allied matters act. (1990) Stipulate that maximum number of persons that can from a partnership is 20 persons that can form a partnership is 20 except in case of professional people.

          Where by they are not professionals and exceeds the stipulates limit, the firm must register under that act or it will be regard as an illegal partnership (Oko, 2002).

          Partnership business contributes tremendously tot he economic growth and development of the country, bringing about economics of scale, creates employment, improves the standard of living of the people and promotes business objectives (synergy Alimba 1998).

          Mezue and associates which is among the numerous partnership business in Enugu is duly registered with the corporate Affairs Commission in line with the provision of the Companies and Allied matters act (1990) as an estate management firm which operation in its own name and not as an agent to any Large Firm.  The firm was registered according to the rules and regulation governing the Nigeria Institute of estate Surveyors and values (NISV) in 1980 consequently, the firm went into full operation in 1982 as an estate firm for the provision of real professional estate.

          Services to both the government corporate bodies and individuals.

It also indulges in the management and valuation of properties in many state of the Federation including Abuja.

Suffice it to say that all partners part take in the decision making and proper management of the firm.   The firm has three branches located at Lagos, Onitsha and Aba with its head office at Enugu.

Each having a branch manager who take decision according to the rules and policies of the firm.

          Finally, the overall motive of the firm is to deliver professional services to the people and also make profit extremely difficult to raise money from many persons through a partnership.  And also the provide them with loans.
