Ala. Code § 10A-9A-1.04: Nature and Purpose.

(a) A limited partnership is a separate legal entity. A limited partnership’s status for tax purposes shall not affect its status as a separate legal entity formed under this chapter. A limited partnership is the same entity regardless of whether its certificate of formation states that the limited partnership is a limited liability limited partnership. A partner has no interest in any specific property of a limited partnership.

(b) A limited partnership may carry on any lawful activity, whether or not for profit, except a banking or insurance business.
