Answer :
Question 1
The correct answer is: "establish how profits and losses are divided.".
Articles of partnership is the denomination of the contract between two parties that establishes the manner in which they agree how to put together their capital, labor and skills to start a joint business, including the responsibilities beared by each party in relation to profits and losses.
Question 2
The correct answer is: to reduce the number of responsibilities
A sole propietor bears an unlimited reponsibility for the potential losses of the company owned. He is obliged to account for them even with his private patrimony, if necessary. Therefore it is likely that he might seek a partner in order to reduce his own risk.
