silent partner

« Back to Glossary Index

is an individual or entity that invests capital in a business without actively participating in its day-to-day operations. Unlike active partners, silent partners do not take on a managerial or decision-making role in the business. They contribute financially, sharing in the profits or losses, but remain “silent” by not engaging in the company’s managerial affairs. Silent partners are often sought for their financial contributions rather than hands-on involvement.
