The Limited Partnership setup is introduced to provide an alternative option to a general partnership business setup. A limited partnership is not a separate legal entity and requires a minimum of one general partner and one limited partner. In this structure, the limited partner's liabilities are not extended beyond their investment in the business capital or property while the general partner is responsible for all liabilities incurred during the course of business.

For foreign individuals or companies who wish to set up an Limited Partnership in Singapore, they must appoint a manager who is either a Singapore citizen, resident, EntrePass or Employment Pass holder, or Depedent Pass holder.
