The Simple Business Partnership Agreement is a fundamental legal document used in Switzerland when two or more parties wish to establish a basic form of business collaboration without creating a more complex corporate structure. This agreement type is particularly suited for professional services, small business ventures, or project-specific collaborations. It is governed by Articles 530-551 of the Swiss Code of Obligations, which provides the legal framework for simple partnerships (einfache Gesellschaft/société simple). The document typically includes provisions for capital contributions, profit sharing, management responsibilities, and partnership dissolution, while offering flexibility in terms of internal organization and partner relationships. It's commonly used for starting new ventures, formalizing existing collaborations, or creating project-specific partnerships, especially when parties want to maintain simplicity in their business structure while having clear legal protection.
