# O.C.G.A. § 14-9A-112. Firm name.

The business of a limited partnership may be conducted under a firm name in which the name of at least one of the partners is contained, to which may be added the word ‘‘company’’ or other general term to denote that there are special partners in the business, or under such firm or trade name as the partners may select; provided, however, that in all cases when the firm is a limited partnership, the firm name shall have added the word ‘‘limited’’ in parentheses so that all persons dealing with the partnership may know that the firm name identifies a limited partnership. The firm name shall be registered as a limited partnership with the clerk of the superior court as required by Part 3 of Article 16 of Chapter 1 of Title 10, which provides for the registration of trade names, partnership names, etc.
