If the owners of the firm (business) are a partnership, majority interest means more than fifty percent of the general partners' ownership in the firm (business). Majority interest in a partnership shall be determined in proportion to the general partners' ownership of the firm (business). For example, in a three-way partnership … partner A owns twenty percent of the business, partner B owns twenty percent of the business, and partner C owns sixty percent of the business … if partner A sold his/her share of the business, a majority interest still exists as partners B and C retain a majority interest (eighty percent) in the firm (business). Limited partners shall not be considered to have an ownership interest for purpose of these rules.(3) "Joint venture" means a combination of two or more entities, entered into for the purpose of carrying to completion a specified job of limited duration.(4) "Employee leasing entity" means a firm (business) which provides workers on a long-term basis to another firm.[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.04.020 and 51.16.035.
