Komplettiyhtiömiehet

Komplettiyhtiömiehet is a Finnish term that translates to "general partners" in English. In Finnish business law, a general partner is a key figure in certain types of partnerships, most notably in a kommandiitti<bos> or a general partnership (avoin yhtiö). Unlike limited partners or silent partners, general partners have unlimited liability for the debts and obligations of the partnership. This means their personal assets can be used to satisfy the partnership's debts if the partnership itself cannot.

General partners are responsible for the day-to-day management and operation of the business. They typically have the authority to make significant decisions and enter into contracts on behalf of the partnership. Their unlimited liability is often seen as a trade-off for the control and potential profits they can derive from the business. The existence of general partners is a defining characteristic of these partnership structures, differentiating them from other forms of business organizations where liability is limited to the capital invested. The specific rights and responsibilities of general partners are usually detailed in the partnership agreement.
