peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1general partnership Explanation: "An arrangement in which two or more individuals or other persons (such as a corporation and an individual) conduct business as "partners", whether officially or not. In terms of asset protection, general partnerships can be even worse than sole proprietorships. Anything that one partner does affects all of the partners, because each partner of the of the general partnership is personally responsible for all obligations of the partnership. Thus each general partner's exposure to risk is increased by a factor equal to the number of general partners in the business" Reference: http://business-law.freeadvice.com/business-law/general_part... |

17 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1no translation Explanation: As you have now given the context, I can see that 'komplementarselskab' is part of the name of the company and in that case you should NOT translate it. You might, however, add (general partnership) after the name of the company, as this is a useful help to the reader of the document. |
