Notification on amendments – general partnerships and limited partnerships

Changes to partnership agreement, and other changes

We recommend that you check your current Trade Register details before you file an amendment notification in order to see what changes and additions you have to make. It is also useful to check the contents of your registered partnership agreement.

The following details are changed most often:

company name
municipality from which the partnership is managed (place of registered office)
line of business
partners, and silent partner’s contribution
signatory rights according to the partnership agreement (general partners on their own/two generalpartners jointly, etc.)
other changes to the partnership agreement (financial period, distribution of profits)
address and contact details
procuration rights
auxiliary company name
