silent partnership
Quiet business stake
A silent partnership is a business arrangement where one party contributes capital but takes no active role in management or operations.
The silent partner shares in profits and losses but remains invisible to the public, with their involvement unknown to customers or clients.
The term sometimes describes any behind-the-scenes financial backing: He suspected a silent partnership between the developer and city officials.
