A limited partnership is formed upon the execution of an agreement between a limited partner (usually a financial contributor) and a general partner (responsible for the day-to-day operations of the business). The limited partner is only liable up to the amount of the initial investment whereas the general partner has unlimited liability. It is advisable to have an attorney draw up the agreement to ensure that it is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the partners will conduct business.

How do general partnership limited partnership and limited liability partnership differ?
All of the partners in a general partnership are fully liable for all debts and obligations of the partnership. In a limited partnership, there is always one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. The general partner(s) in a limited partnership, like the partners in a general partnership, are fully liable for all debts and obligations of the partnership. The limited partners, on the other hand, are not liable for any debts or obligations of the partnership beyond the amount that they have contributed or committed to contribute to the partnership. In other words, limited partners can lose their entire investment in the partnership but a creditor of the partnership cannot go after the other assets of the limited partners. A limited liability partnership (LLP) is created by state statute, as is the limited partnership, but compared to the limited partnership statutes, there is much more variation in LLPs from state to state. That makes any general description potentially wrong, based on the law of the specific state in which the LLP is operating. Generally, all or some of the partners in an LLP have some degree of limited liability protection. The partners usually have to be members of a licensed profession such as CPAs, attorneys or engineers.
What is the difference between a General Partnership and a limited Partnership?
In a limited partnership, a limited partner can be held liable for only the amount of money he or she invested in the company. In a general partnership, the individual liability for debts is the partner's share of the total amount of debts accrued by the partnership. In the USA individuals wishing to operate a business under a partnership, can choose to form three types of partnership: general partnership, limited partnership and limited liability partnership. In a general partnership the partners are responsible for all aspects of the business including the debts of the partnership. In a limited partnership there are two types of partners - general and limited. Each type of partner has different rights and responsibilities. Generally speaking, there is a limit on the liability of a limited partner, while the general partner's liabilities are not limited. A limited partnership consists of one or more general partners (i.e., those who are generally liable for the business) and one or more limited partners (i.e., those who have limited liability). If the statutory requirements are not followed, a limited partnership will be treated as a general partnership; therefore, it is important that you consult with an attorney in creating a limited partnership. LPs are created by filing an statement of registration with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division.For more information about General Partnerships and Limited Partnerships, you can follow the link below.A limited liability partnership protects the personal assets of the partners from creditors.
