a non-legal term for an investor who puts money into a business, takes no part in
management and is often unknown to customers. A "limited partner," who is prohibited
from taking part in management and has no liability for debts beyond his/her investment,
is a true silent partner. However, without a limited partnership agreement, a silent
partner is responsible for the debts of the partnership as a general partner.
