wspólników

Wspólników is a Polish term that translates to "partners" in English. It refers to individuals or entities who have entered into a partnership agreement to conduct a business or venture together. In the context of Polish law, wspólników can be associated with various forms of business structures, most notably limited partnerships (spółka jawna) and limited joint-stock partnerships (spółka komandytowa).

In a spółka jawna, all wspólników have unlimited liability for the partnership's debts. This means their personal assets can be used to satisfy business obligations. They typically share in the profits and losses of the business according to the terms of their partnership agreement.

A spółka komandytowa distinguishes between two types of wspólników: general partners (komplementariusze) and limited partners (komandytariusze). General partners have unlimited liability and manage the business, while limited partners have liability limited to the amount of their investment and generally do not participate in management.

The rights and obligations of wspólników are primarily governed by the partnership agreement and relevant Polish commercial law. These can include contributions to capital, participation in decision-making, profit sharing, and responsibilities for business management and liabilities. The concept of wspólników is fundamental to understanding the structure and operation of many businesses in Poland.
