Definition
Person who has an interest in the success of a partnership firm but, legally, is not partner because he or she neither owns a part of the firm nor actively participates in its affairs. Often a nominal partner is a well known, well connected individual whose name lends credibility and recognition to the firm, and is paid a fee for this service. Also called limited partner or ostensible partner.
