Temporary partnership
Last update
A société momentanée is a temporary partnership between businesses and which is set up, without company name, to carry out one or more specific commercial operations. The permits required are based on the person in charge of the management of the temporary partnership.
The temporary partnership is considered as a real company just like any other commercial business. What distinguishes it from a standard partnership (société en nom collectif - SENC) is that its object is temporary and that it is not intended to form a 'durable community of common interests' between the partners. In addition, a temporary partnership is a form of company which does not have a legal personality according to the law.
Who is concerned?
A temporary partnership can be formed by any natural or legal person that wishes to form a temporary partnership with other businesses, in Luxembourg or abroad, in order to:
- carry out a joint project;
- provide mutual support;
- share the additional profits that could be generated by such an arrangement.
