their name and reputation for the
benefit of the firm.

My Views on Partnership
I think entering into a Partnership business
is much better option than running a sole
proprietorship business.
Partnership Firm’s Final accounts are similar
to Sole proprietorship firm’s final accounts
except the profit sharing & Capital A/c.
