How it's used
While this term is perfectly acceptable in formal business contexts, everyday speech often favors the more casual term 拍檔. Using 合夥人 sounds slightly more serious, implying a formal legal or financial arrangement rather than just a casual collaborator. It is common to hear it in professional settings or when discussing specific investment ventures.
